Broker's Comments

As well as their pretty looks, Contessa 26's are reknown for their proven sea keeping qualities. Many have been single handedly sailed around Britain or across the transatlantic. Some have even circumnavigated the globe.

This one is simply equipped. She comes with an outboard engine and benefits from a Junk Rig making her easy to rig, reef, handle and maintain. A possible, suitable vessel for the Jester Challenge.
