This boat has been an exceptional race winner! She looks like a fine example of a long keeled racing Contessa. She won the 2016 JOG NAB Tower Class 6 and is the 2016 class 6 cat 4 series winner! Thanks to the current owner she's amazingly equipped for racing with all new equipment, has had her mast compression beam replaced in 2017 and has been IRC Certificate endorsed. Our first impressions are that there has been a lot of time/money spent on the exterior of this boat and her brilliant racing equipment, though she'd benefit from an interior blast. This boat is set up to be a racer but could ... read more

Contessa 26 sailing yacht for sale. The Contessa 26 could be considered the first classic GRP boat. With very much traditional lines she was sufficiently nimble to win the first round the UK race on handicap (and the smallest boat in the fleet) while successfully completing two single-handed transatlantic races, finishing 14th of 61 in 1974. Class is timeless and Tish has those timeless, classy looks that make her very much of the period, while benefitting from a newer Nanni engine. In very good order for a boat of her age - she won the Haven Series Britannia Trophy in 1993 - she is well ... read more
