Jeremy Rogers Contessa 43 gebraucht

Performance sailing enthusiasts will appreciate this 1979 Jeremy Rogers Contessa 43, which offers a unique opportunity to acquire a legendary design in excellent condition. Measuring 13.03 meters with a 3.81-meter beam, this vessel provides a stable and capable platform for serious sailors looking for a reliable fiberglass build. The vessel underwent an exhaustive refit in 2013, which touched nearly every aspect of the boat. Exterior enhancements include the complete removal and reinstall of deck hardware, the addition of new stainless steel plates for stanchions, and the installation of a new cutter stay. The hull and deck were expertly repainted with Awlgrip finishes, while the underwater hull received an extensive epoxy and anti-fouling treatment to ensure long-term structural integrity. Technical updates extend to the onboard systems, including the replacement of all water plumbing, new brass Blake WC intake valves, and an upgraded bilge pump system. The deck hardware is now fully upgraded with seven Harken winches and a Lewmar anchor windlass, paired with 75 meters of 8mm chain for secure anchoring. Navigation safety is bolstered by new interior mast cabling and a modern tricolor navigation light. Down below, the interior has been thoughtfully modernized to maximize comfort in its two-cabin, one-bath layout. Recent improvements include redesigned bow cabin berths, updated cushions, and various interior carpentry finishes such as new library shelving, shoe storage, and cabinetry painting. The engine room and oven space have also been fitted with fire-retardant materials for enhanced safety. This used boat is currently lying in Italy and is available for inspection through Schmidt & Partner International Yachtbrokers srl in Aprilia Marittima. With its VAT-paid status and thorough documented maintenance, this yacht represents a rare offering in the current market. We highly recommend scheduling a personal viewing to appreciate the craftsmanship of the 2013 refit.
