Broker's Comments
Wow owned for the last 23 years this lovely Contessa 32 has been meticulously cared for. She looks so pretty and full of that traditional character renowned with these reputable yachts.
She was re-enengined in 2000 and she comes with dinghy and outboard. She has a cockpit tent and full set of cockpit cushions. Engine serviced 2026. All paint work and varnish looks to be tickety boo!
