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.
You can probably gather I am a C32 fan!
This particular example is exactly as I like to find them, set up and equipped to sail offshore whilst still looking smart and sleek as well as comfortable enough to just want to spend time aboard. She has been well maintained by knowledgeable owners and it shows. Over the last 5 years she has had lots of work done and numerous upgrades, all of which has been sympathetic to her remaining as she should be.
Down below she is clean and fresh, the upholstery is smart and everything is in place. She has just gone back in the water so is ready for the season and comes well equipped including her tender. Just in time for another great sailing season!
