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" had been based in Fowey since 1990 . We purchased her in 2021 as we needed a boat to keep sailing whilst we repaired our wooden folkboat, which she closely resembles. There is a full history record .
She was originally powered by a Vire petrol engine , but this was replaced by a Yanmar 1GM10 diesel in 2005.

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.

After a fantastic ten years of joint ownership, we have reluctantly decided that it is time to sell our beloved Contessa 32 Peak Flow.
The Contessa 32 is an enormously respected very safe and seaworthy cruiser/racer, and came to fame when an early example, Assent, was the only vessel of its category to finish the 1979 Fastnet race. Contessa 32s have sailed round the world, into the high arctic, through the Patagonian fjords, and there is a passionate and highly competitive racing community in the Solent and an enormously helpful and active owners’ association and Facebook group.
