Broker's Comments
The current owners have seen to it that this Contessa 26 has been professionally maintained since they acquired her in 2016. There is an extensive list of new items and work done, all carried out by professionally qualified people, including the refurbishment of the of the Beta 10 hp engine in 2018.
If you are looking at this you are probably aware of the Contessa 26 pedigree; they have been sailed around the globe, well known for their turn of speed. With 350 built by Jeremy Rogers and a further 400 built by J.J. Taylor in Canada.
As with all boats of this age it is important to stay on top of everything and the current owners certainly have done that. I would categories this as a “Sailor’s boat”.

There is no oven on the boat and no hot water.
How much are the berthing fees and do you have an oven or just the two burners. Is there hot water. Thank you.
