Broker's Comments

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
A great opportunity to own a well designed, seaworthy cruiser and/or racer, capable of offshore voyages in extreme weather.
Although designed in 1970, the Contessa 32 will still compete well against modern yachts, thanks to her cleverly designed encapsulated fin keel and narrower beam.
This particular yacht is ready for her new owner to make their mark on her!

This Contessa 32 has been personally photographed and viewed by John Waddington of Boatshed Chichester. Click here for contact details.
