Persephone is a rare opportunity to buy one of the ‘new’ Contesssa 32s. Since first launching in 2012 she has been lightly used by the owner and is a truly fine example of this iconic classic racer/cruiser. Persephone is a top spec boat with many extras including a comprehensive suite of sails for cruising and racing. She has been maintained by Jeremy Rogers Ltd and is in very good condition.

STROMA is a beautiful example of the sought after Dawn 39. These superb yachts are well regarded among the sailing community with their elegant lines and excellent handling characteristics with a long fin keel, full skeg hung rudder and an encapsulated lead keel gives good directional and heavy weather stability. From the drawing board of David Alan-Williams and a further development of the Contessa 38, this yacht was created to take its crew safely and swiftly on offshore passages in comfort, as well being able to hold its own around a race course.

Contessa lovers will be pleased to see the CO32 hull moulds back in the yard, ready for laying up. It's not the first time that an owner has come back for a second new build and we are really looking forward to getting stuck into this one which will probably head for Norway on first launch.

Contessa 32, Built in 1980.
The benchmark sailing yacht built by Jeremy Rogers in Lymington, UK to David Sadler/ Rogers design. 'South Haze' is considered one of the best examples of the Contessa 32, with a racing record that is second to none.
This is no ordinary Contessa 32. She has been optimised for performance, with a major refit undertaken by her original builder in 2000. There are not many cups she has not won, and she has been thoroughly sorted.
South Haze was completely re-vamped by Jeremy Rogers in 2000 at a cost of approximately £20,000.00 (invoice available upon request).
It's been incredibly close racing at Cowes this year in what's been a very windy week so far. Two days have been called off thanks to high winds of up to 40 knots. There are 18 boats entered, three with young crews and two (Boudicca and Nimbus ) with all female crews, marking a significant shift for the class...
Ever since the 1970s the Contessa 32 has enjoyed its own start at Cowes week. Back then numbers on the start line swelled to nearly 50 which, like most classes, declined over the years. After the threat of amalgamation with other classes a few years ago, the Contessa 32 is now one of the most popular class starts with 18 boats confirmed.
Hot Chocolate is a great project for someone who wants to make a Contessa 26 truly their own.
With many essential jobs already ticked off the list what remains is the fitting of the interior to the new owners specification.
