Broker Remarks
1979 launched 1985 Contessa 32 £19,950
The Contessa 32 is a well-proven and enduring design and these elegant cruising yachts are easy to handle and fun to sail. Their sea keeping qualities are legendary and they are just as happy being used as coastal cruisers as they are crossing oceans. This excellent example has been well looked after and continually upgraded and we highly recommend viewing. The vessel has had only two previous owners and was last surveyed in 2005
