Broker's Comments
The sought-after Contessa 34 was one of the few boats to come through the 1976 Fastnet Race unscathed. Her hull is tremendously strong, and a Lloyd's Construction Certificate testifies to the care taken in its manufacture. Top quality and generously sized deck gear and rigging will withstand the worst of the weather, and make for effortless offshore sailing. The comfort and space to be found below decks make this cruising version of the Contessa a sound choice for cruisers and racers alike. She has been wintered ashore every year since 1996. Contessa yachts have consistently held their value better than any other comparable range, and makes this 34 a solid investment.
