Broker's Comments
For all you budding Contessa enthusiasts out there we have an absolute bargain up for grabs. She may look a little rough around the edges and appears to have been set up mostly for racing rather than luxury family cruising, but all the raw strength & beauty of a great yacht marque is here for you to make your own. She comes with an extensive sail wardrobe.
One of the most successful racer/cruisers of all time, the Contessa 32 has a great history and a large following. Designed back in the 70's but still being built today, this rugged sea boat, with excellent sailing qualities and beautiful lines will keep you safe when the going gets rough, tough or both. A Contessa 32 was the only yacht in the small boat class to finish the disastrous 1979 Fastnet race.
Good speed & good sea keeping qualities both at a good price.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
*This vessel is year 1973. Vessels prior to 1979 are deemed to be VAT exempt.
