HISTORY: Vaya Con Dios was built by the De Alm Shipyard in Holland and launched in 1992. The Vanderhoeven hull and superstructure were originally designed to serve as a North Sea fishing trawler. After many years service in the North Sea, and at the request of potential buyers, the the superstructure design was modified so the redesigned vessels could serve as a seaworthy pleasure craft for the boating public. Upon completion, her German owner sailed his new vessel from Holland to the Spanish port of Almerimar on the Costa Del Sol. I purchased her from the original owner in 2001 while on a circumnavigation aboard my Peterson 46, Black Rose. THE CROSSING: Having two boats but not wanting to make the Atlantic crossing twice, I signed on a South African crew and the four of us departed late in the season and towed Black Rose across the Atlantic by way of Gibraltar, Cabo Verde and the Canary Islands. Being in no rush and wishing to conserve fuel, we made the Atlantic crossing using one engine at a time, averaging 5.5 knots swapping engines every couple of days. We completed the 4000 mile crossing from Spain to Trinidad in thirty days. Upon arrival in Trinidad, Vaya Con Dios was laid up in the port city of Chaguaramous until the following season. Upon our return, we spent several months island hopping through the Caribbean and, after transiting the Panama Canal, we continued our cruise up the west coast of Central America and Mexico. DESCRIPTION VESSEL DRAFT: 6' 1" DISPLACEMENT: 47 tons. CONSTRUCTION: The hull is double-chined and double welded with the inside weld left unground for additional strength. The hull and superstructure are built with Lloyds grade A approved steel. The hull has a full-length keel with twin side-keels protecting the propeller shafts. Each propeller is surrounded by a protective ring of steel to minimize possible damage caused by such flotsam as fishing nets and lines. All railings, bollards, anchor-chain tubes, upper-deck ladder and water tank are constructed of high-grade 316 stainless steel. ENGINES: The commercial diesel engines were made in Holland with approximately 2200 hours on them since a major overhaul. They are massive in size and designed to run for thousands of additional hours. They start easily and run strong. I spend most weekends on the vessel and while she's been my "condo on the water" for the last twelve years, I run the engines weekly. TANKAGE: Fuel tanks- The main fuel-tank is located in the midships bilge and holds 1585 gallons. The secondary fuel-tank, holding 530 gallons, is located in the engine-room bilge just aft of the main fuel tank.The two gravity feed fuel-tanks are located on the forward engine room bulkhead and hold 100 gallons. Total fuel-tank capacity is 2215 gallons. Water tank- The stainless steel longitudinally baffled water tank has a capacity of 660 gallons. Holding tanks- One forward tank and one aft tank, each holding 40 gallons. RANGE: This vessel's maximum range is 4430 nautical miles running on one engine at a time at an average speed of 5.5 knots. Running at 8 or 9 knots with both engines will have a significant increase in fuel consumption with a corresponding reduction in range. FUEL CONSUMPTION: The fuel consumption was slightly over 2 nautical mile/ U.S. gallon. STEERING SYSTEM: Hydraulic ANCHOR WINDLASS: LoFranz GROUND TACKLE: There are two ship's anchors as seen in photos along with 300' of 7/16 galvanized chain. BOW-THRUSTER: A new bow-thruster will be included in the sale and installed prior to close of escrow. STABILIZERS: Hydraulic in need of repair. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: 24 volt dc, 220 volt 50 cycle ac.

Forward of that are port and starboard staterooms, then the port and starboard heads, followed by the fourth stateroom at the bow. On the upper-deck forward is the wheelhouse.
