1978 Contessa 28 £7,500
Whilst the limelight may fall on her stablemates the Contessa 26 and Contessa 32, the Contessa 28 has many positive attributes of it's own. From the pen of Doug Peterson, the author of many successful Contessa designs, the 28 is a great sailing yacht with the added advantage of feeling significantly larger internally than the 26 but with only 2 feet of actual extra length. This extra comfort sets them apart and makes life with one that bit more comfortable for a family while retaining the ability to be easily sailed singlehanded. Less well known the 28's are also less numerous but still with o... read more

Believed to be an early 1966 model. Extensive work to hull which includes fairing and epoxy treatment. Cockpit floor raised for self draining and new windows and surrounds fitted. Engine had a fairly major overhaul a few years ago with new engine bearers glassed into the hull. Wired for 240v and 12v electrics but lighting and instruments not supplied/fitted. Mast and standing rigging appear in good order, but running rigging needs replacement. Mast also needs new wiring for nav. instruments etc. There are an assortment of main and head sails in varying conditions.
This is still a "work i... read more

1979 Contessa 28 - 8.5m sloop for sale. I am selling my eminently seaworthy Doug Peterson designed Contessa from the Jeremy Rogers stable. She would suit a couple and is ideal for coastal exploring. I am a Poole based solo sailor and she is very easily handled single or short handed. The honest and only reason for sail is that I am looking for another slightly larger boat to accommodate my small family. If you know the Contessa name, then you will no doubt be aware of their reputation as a very safe and solid boat with a good turn of speed and good performance on all points of sailing.

Contessa 26 "YONNER" .
Advertising on behalf of my brother.
There has been a lot of interest in this boat so far and even offering it for free has proved problematic.
As a result I am now forced in to asking money for it to hopefully attract serious buyers who want a good boat for practically nothing.
"Yonner" has been owned by my brother for the last 25 years. Bought from Preston Marina in Lancashire but originally Built in Canada in 1979 and sailed to UK.
One of the photos shows the original registration port of TORONTO, somewhat faded.
