Broker's Comments
Upon meeting the owner onboard it was clear to see the boat was tidy and dry and had been well cared for. She has a lovely little addition that most Contessa's don't and that is a hatch in the saloon/coachroof letting lots of natural light into the interior. Lots of regular upgrades and maintenance she is a nice example of this type. There is a job left to do on the boat and that is to attack the revarnishing of the interior woodwork - this was next on the owners list!
Owner Comments:
I have owned her for around 7 years. I loved her at first sight and she has been lovingly cared for and kept in marinas with professional engine servicing annually and any jobs on her, I’ve always consulted and used a professional.
She has toured in the Solent and in the Bristol Channel and in 2016 I took her on a solo trip around Britain. Reason for sale is only as I have bought a bigger bought world to sail the world!
