Description
The Contessa 34 built by Contessa Yachts Ltd was introduced to market in 1982 and superseded the previous Contessa OOD34. The upgraded quality and design offers a longer cast iron keel and more hull weight resulting in a sturdy, well built cruising yacht. The interior offers multiple berths, a hot and cold pressurised water system, heating with a spacious and sociable saloon. Longbow has been updated in the last several years boasting replacement standing rigging and new Raymarine electronics. A great couples/family cruising yacht.
