A classic design, Lizzie is a beautiful example of a Contessa 26 and sails like a dream. She has a GRP hull in excellent condition, and a beautiful mahogany finish down below.
She is ideal for single or short-handed sailing. As a young couple we’ve sailed her all over Northern Europe over the past 10 years. In 2018 we gave her a major overhaul at Fox’s Yard, Ipswich, including preventative osmosis treatment on the hull, before sailing her to Sweden and back, via the Baltic.
Features Include:
• Coppercoat Antifouling
• NEW Standing Rigging 2018
• NEW gelcoat...

Believed to be an early 1966 model. Extensive work to hull which includes fairing and epoxy treatment. Cockpit floor raised for self draining and new windows and surrounds fitted. Engine had a fairly major overhaul a few years ago with new engine bearers glassed into the hull. Wired for 240v and 12v electrics but lighting and instruments need installing. Mast and shrouds appear in good order but needs new wiring for nav. instruments. There are an assortment of main and head sails in varying conditions.
This is still a "work in progress" project that needs completing but a lot of it ...

Milly is now for sale.The previous owner took Milly to Iceland and was a well known contessa owner.
I've owned Milly (Milly Brown) for the past few years and undertaken a lot of work which I will list below. Looking for a quick sale and dropped price dramatically as I’m out of country now.
Work undertaken in past few years:l by myseelf:
- Almost all deck fittings were uplifted and re-sealed using butyl tape which has helped keep out the wet (including U bolts).
- We have undergone a lot of tabbing to strengthen the boat with bulkheads to the hull.
- New Alternator

This tough little long keeled 26 footer is very stable, easy to keep on course and very reassuring when conditions get challenging. Similar boats have trans atlantic pedigree( 1972 OSTAR ) and in 1985 18 year old Tania Aebi circum navigated the globe !
"Countess Isabella" has been based in Fowey since 1990 and we have her full history since then. We purchased her in 2021 as we were re-fitting our wooden folkboat which she closely resembles.
She was originally powered by a Vire petrol engine , but this was replaced by a Yanmar 1GM10 diesel in 2005.
The cockpit is self draining, au...

Tamara is a Contessa 26 constructed by Jeremy Rogers Boatyard. Contessa 26s are legendary boats due to single-hand round-the-world voyages and winning many races such as Round the Island and OSTAR. If you don't know about them, look them up. Tamara was among the first 30 ever produced, but the hull number is unknown. I purchased her in 2021 and have refurbished her from a tired daysailor to a lovely cruiser-racer. I've completed two Scilly's trips and entered local club racing with her. She's given me the confidence to move on to my next big boat.
