Broker's Comments
So, if you are looking at this Contessa 33 the chances are that you are already aware of its seakeeping capabilities. The owners pointed out that one of the reasons they kept the boat for so long was its ability to lap up the waves and go with the wind feeling very secure and safe.
Clearly the boat has been well looked after and there does not seem to be any sign of extreme wear and tear.
She has a good array of nav gear. The life raft was new in 2019, and will need servicing.
If you are looking to hit the sea running, I suspect that there is little to do to get out there.
