Broker's Comments

Newly re-listed, this Contessa 34 OOD was previously sold by Boatshed Essex.

She is a very competent cruiser/racer, with a fabulous suite of sails and accommodation for a full 7-person crew complement. Forward v-berth, 4 in the saloon on two levels (with lee-cloths) and a 3/4 double aft by the nav station.

She's got a full array of electronics, including radar.

Powered by a 2005 Yanmar, she has ample power when the sails just aren't enough!

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

This Contessa 34 OOD has been personally photographed and viewed by Paul Watson of Boatshed Yorkshire. Click here for contact details.
