Broker's Comments
The Contessa 32 is probably one of the best known and best loved offshore cruising boats there is. Designed by David Sadler and built by Jeremy Rogers (they are still in build now) they have an iconic quality that is rightly earned.
They sail well, have fantastic seakeeping qualities and just look beautiful. Down below they are laid out traditionally, everything is in the right place for being at sea making them a safe and practical cruising boat for single-handers and families alike. She'll look after you all
This particular CO32 was an absolute delight to step aboard. She's smart, clear and bright on deck and clean and fresh below. Although still very much an original boat she's had lots of replacements and upgrades through her lifetime, mast, rigging and engine as well as upholstery and sails.
A beautiful example of a fantastic design. And she's in the water and waiting to be sailed away.
