Broker's Comments
This Contessa 32 had a major update/upgrade between 2010 -2013. This included new Standing Rigging, Sprayhood, Dodgers and the Chain Plates plus U-bolts for the Shrouds. The engine was replaced in 2002 and has completed less than 200 hours use. The hull below the waterline was treated and the topsides re-sprayed professionally in 2000. This boat is in commission and ready for the new 2015 season
The current owner is willing to deliver the boat by sea for the new owner - this offer is for UK delivery and up to a reasonable distance of no more than around 100 miles – it would get her to the Solent for example!
There is an active Owner Association for the Contessa 32 and the original renowned builder is still building new CO32's. Jeremy Rogers Ltd still carries out refurbishment work and supply parts for boats built in the 1970's.
These boat details are subject to contract.
