Broker's Comments

These boat details are subject to contract.
A Contessa 28 is a very good sailing yacht and will appeal to both seasoned and those new to sailing as well. The deck is uncluttered and easy to move around, the cockpit a good size with deep combings making it a secure environment. The current owner has really spent a lot of time improving this vessel. She looks smart, has just had her anti-fouling and anodes changed, a new prop,Lines led aft with clutches for single handed sailing and her cockpit refurbished as you will see from the photographs and the video. A great package ready to go and a favourable survey from 2012! Video will soon follow.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
