<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><span><p></p><h5></h5><p>Design and reputation<br>
The now iconic Contessa 32 needs little introduction.<br>
This legendary cruiser/racer was first built in 1971 and is well known for it’s seaworthy design, elegant lines and outstanding offshore performance. With over 700 hulls supplied, the Contessa 32 has been one of the most successful British built sailing yachts of the modern era.</p>
<p>Build quality<br>
Gina is a stunning example, in as new condition, moulded in red and delivered to her owner in 2023, she is without doubt the finest example on the market.<br>
She is traditionally slab reefed with all lines led back to the cockpit. The deck equipment has been upgraded with a carbon spinnaker pole, Harken tracks and Anderson winches.<br>
The cap rail and cockpit seating are finished in a sustainably sourced marine maple. The deep cockpit and beautifully shaped tiller arm give the helm excellent visibility and maneuverability.<br>
The interior has been modernised with warm cherry joinery and corian worktops.<br>
She really must be seen to be appreciated.</p>
<p>Location<br>
Gina has recently been lifted ashore in Falmouth and is available for viewings. Please contact us for further information.</p>
