Broker's Comments

What can one say about the Contessa 26? Except that they really are a very pretty boat.
When David Sadler and Jeremy Rogers got together back in the sixties to look at a GRP folkboat they came up with an absolute stunner.
No, there isn't a lot of headroom down below and the accommodation is possibly a little cramped compared to some others of similar length but then who wants to be down below when you have such a lovely boat to sail.
She still has so many of her original features and is sure to get someone's juices flowing at the thought of putting her to sea once more.
Give me a call if you would like to come and see her. I don't think at this price she will be with us for long.
