Broker's Comments

Boatshed Dartmouth are delighted to offer for sale an ever popular Contessa 32. The Contessa 32 is a classic 'cruiser-racer' with a tremendous pedigree. First seen at the Boat Show in 1970, over 750 have since been built. Their reputation for seaworthiness is second to none and yet they are still a most beautiful boat to look at. This Contessa 32 is unexpectedly being offered for sale and is being sold very well equipped with a good inventory, good sail wardrobe and very recent new standing rigging. Appointments to view can be booked in advance 6-days a week directly with Paul Singer your Boatshed Dartmouth broker.
