Broker's Comments
The Contessa 32 is widely regarded as the most successful cruiser racer of all time, they have a well-deserved reputation for good seakeeping and a joy to sail.
This particular model has benefitted from many additions which includes Harken 46 self-tailing cockpit mounted genoa sheet winches (4” chrome) new in 2021 (£1200 each), New Genoa with foam luff purchased 2017. Other sails include a spare genoa (needs new UV strip), a lightweight spinnaker (not competition sized). Neptune Windvane self-steering gear, manufacture refurbished 2021. Currently not fitted, but in storage. Worth £2000 Raymarine wireless wind speed/direction (new in 2022 cost £1100), electric bilge pump, new 2021. Manual pump in cockpit, and not least a Beta BD722 20 horsepower to three-bladed fixed prop, new 1995.
The best thing to do is read all the specification for the full inventory (and there is lots of it) and then pop along and see her.
