Broker's Comments

The Contessa 26’s are well known and highly regarded sailing yachts, many have competed in the single handed transatlantic race and round Britain races as well as several circumnavigations. So whatever type of sailing you’re up for, these boats will never disappoint.
This boat had a new Beta Marine engine lovingly fitted in 1999 and to date has only done 120 hrs. Fitted with a furling Genoa making short handed sailing very easy.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
