Broker's Comments

This boat has been viewed and photographed by Steven of Boatshed Falmouth. Register or log in to see more photos of this boat. A Contessa 32 that has never been raced !! (Read: Thrashed ) Until three years ago, this boat was owned from new by a "Cruising Dentist" She is a fully equipped Contessa 32 and well set up for extended voyages. Much money spent recently, in particular on the standing rigging engine replacement, cabin heating, foredeck hatch, cabin windows and cooker. The boat has also recently had a new rudder fitted and the original rudder is with the boat as a spare. It appears that, correctly, the important parts have been replaced and now it is a case of some cosmetic interior tidying. This would include some varnishing inside. The upholstery was new in 1996 and is perfectly servicable but if this was renewed it would make a massive difference the feel of the interior. The topsides are original unpainted. She is wintered ashore every year. These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
