Broker's Comments

Built by the British yard Colvic Ltd, the Countess 28 is a sturdy capable and safe craft. A thoroughly well regarded mid size British cruiser, ideally suited to drying harbours, coastal exploration or longer passage making.

This model benefits from a near new Beta 25hp diesel engine with easy access either internally or via the cockpit.

The boat suffers from some water ingress around the saloon windows, this has unfortunately caused the wood trim to discolour and stain in places. This aside, she appears a well found example, with plenty of internal space, lots of storage, and an accommodating layout.

The boat is offered with sails to be seen in good condition, two anchors with a good length of chain, a sensible selection of navigation and safety equipment, and a WaveCo tender.

For any further information or to book a viewing, please feel free email or call.
