Broker's Comments

The contessa 33 are well proven and a great design of that generation of yacht. A product of Rob Humphries. There are numerous articles about this design, highlighting their versatility, whether, cruising, racing or short-handed sailing.
Sadly the owner is retiring from sailing, which is why he is offering her for sale. She has all the essentials and just requires a bit more TLC to have her looking at her best again, which is why she has been priced accordingly.

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