2019 Fountaine Pajot Saona 47

Step into a world of endless adventure with Chance Encounter, a unique and well-maintained CN31 sailboat. Set sail from Key West, Florida, and discover hidden coves, deserted islands and white sandy beaches anywhere in the world. Chance Encounter, maintained by a professional captain and sailboat maintenance technician for the past 8 years, is ready for your next adventure.

Chance Encounter has undergone extensive rebuilds and upgrades to her hull, diesel engine, electrical systems, standing rigging, and running rigging, making her a dependable and world-class cruiser. From 2014 to 2018, she underwent a complete overhaul, including a rebuild of the Yanmar 2QM20, all new running rigging, complete electrical rewiring, and osmosis blister removal to name a few. The overbuilt aluminum stern arch, added in 2016, has capacity for even more upgrades you might want. The interior and exterior lighting have been upgraded for added safety and functionality, and the interior was also refitted with teak and mahogany for style and longevity you won't find in factory original production boats.

In 2016, under the consultation of one of the last surviving Camper and Nicholson architects of the CN31, the standing rigging was changed from the original through deck mounted shrouds to exterior chainplates. The hull was reinforced at the new chainplate mounting locations with oversized backing-plates, and the deck to hull joint was reworked from stem to stern, and a reinforced integral toe rail was built into the joint design.

Outfitted for single-handed sailing with all roller furler sails, a Cape Horn Wind Vane, and a tiller pilot with 2 backup spares, Chance Encounter is a world-class cruiser that will take you on the journey of a lifetime. This vessel has been a constant companion, taking us on many unforgettable journeys. It's hard to let go, but we hope that the new owner will continue to cherish this boat as we have, and create their own memories with her.
