Overview
Contessa 32 built in 1977A neat example of a timeless classic, this Contessa 32 benefits from new Ultimate Sails main and genoa in 2020, new standing rigging in 2017 and an upgraded Beta 20hp engine.
With other work and upgrades in recent years including new batteries in 2020 plus pressurised hot water system and replacement deck hatches in 2017, 'Browzer' will surely offer many more years of racing and cruising.
