Broker's comments

The Contessa 32 became famous in the Fastnet Regatta of 1979 for its storm-proof qualities. In the popular book “Sailing in Rough Weather” the Contessa 32 is described as a perfect example of a well-built boat for sailing in any sea conditions. The boat is in impeccable condition and ready to sail around the world. Available in Southern Spain.
