Broker's Comments
I probably don’t need to say too much about the Contessa, as I am sure all of you know that they are proper boats, with classic lines and great sailing characteristics. I find that when I’m looking around marinas or boat yards my eye is always drawn to a Contessa if there is one in the vicinity.
Inside they look and smell like a proper boat should, good use of space, nice wood, etc. This example looks to have been well maintained and has undergone an intensive improvement programme over the past 5 years. She is worth a look if you are looking for a sturdy, well designed and built yacht, which offers better handling than many of today’s modern day boats.
This boat has been viewed and photographed by Chris of Boatshed Essex. Register or log in to see more photos of this boat. These boat details are subject to contract.
