Cygnet

A well maintained Contessa 32 – the best our surveyor said he had seen! For the past 10 years she has been cruised locally around Devon and Cornwall but has racing sails and light and heavy spinnakers if the new owner wishes to race her. New standing rigging in 2019 and Raymarine navigation instruments. I have been sailing in many yachts for well over 75 years and it is time to stop before any disasters occur so Cygnet is being sold with everything (apart from person effects). She is in commission and will be sailed until sold!

Contessa 32, Sail number 9332, ‘’Cygnet" For Sale £49,950
We have decided to sell Cygnet after lightly cruising her for nearly 10 years. I have more than 75 years of sailing in many different yachts and I am not planning to buy another sailing yacht so are selling Cygnet with everything on board and any spares from ashore. When we bought her our surveyor commented that she was the best he had seen. We are keeping her in commission and sailing her until she is sold. Marina berth paid for until end March 2024.
