Regularly mistaken for a new boat this very special Contessa 32 really is “like new”.  Meticulously refurbished over 5 years by a true craftsman in a non-commercial environment, this yacht needs to be seen to be appreciated.   The extensive refurbishment includes hull and deck comprehensively restored to as new condition, new teak toe/hand rail and cockpit seating, new windows, new standing and running rigging, new mast foot and re-built base, re-built Yanmar engine with new drive shaft and ancillaries, extensive interior makeover including all teak stripped to bare wood and sealed with 6 coats of International satin varnish, totally re-built galley, completely rewired with marine grade tinned wire, re-plumbed, replacement rudder bearings, underwater hull stripped, epoxy and Coppercoated.  In addition, there have been many improvements such as the hand crafted chart table, companion way step, bi-folding door in heads, Seldon deck ring and Jeremy Rogers mast moulding.   This is a rare opportunity to purchase a classic sailing yacht elegantly modernised with all the creature comforts any cruising sailor could ask for.   DIMENSIONS LOA 9.75m (32’0″)LWL 7.31m (24’0″)BEAM 2.89m (9’6″)DRAFT 1.68m (5’6″)DISPLACEMENT 4,300kg (9,500 lbs)KEEL BALLAST 2,045kg (2,045 lbs) All figures approximate   CONSTRUCTIONGRP hull Teak-laid cockpit seats * and cockpit gratingLong fin keelSkeg-hung rudderTiller steering Blakes seacocks throughout **Underwater area epoxy coated and Coppercoat antifouling *   ENGINE AND ELECTRICS Yanmar 2GM20 diesel engine – fully refurbished, freshwater cooled * with Poly Flex engine mounts *, fully insulated engine bay * 20 ltr stainless steel califorier * providing hot water from engine and shore power 3 bladed propeller Blue Sea 12v DC distribution panels x2 * Batteries 2x 105A/h Delphi domestic * plus AGM engine start * Adverc battery management system * BEP battery master switches with emergency coupling * Full 220v system with battery charger and galvanic isolator * Alpine stereo radio/minidisc with speakers in saloon and cockpit 12v sockets x 2 (1 at nav station and 1 in anchor locker for inflating dinghy) * Eberspacher D2 diesel heating with 2 outlets *   RIGGING Black anodised aluminium mast and sparsStainless steel standing rigging – 6mm throughout *Mainsail single line reefing system with lazybagFurlex roller furling headstay **Spinnaker pole Seldon deck ring * Lewmar blocks and Spinlock deck organisers * Lewmar 6:1 mainsheet block and track *SAILS All lines led aft to coachroof winches through 10 x Spinlock line clutches *Fully battened Hood mainsail with single line reefing and Rutgersen roller carsFurling Kemp genoa 150%SpinnakerWINCHES All fully rebuilt, re-chromed with new pawl and springs **Two Lewmar 42 twin speed self-tailing genoa sheet winchesTwo Lewmar 16 twin speed halyard winchesTwo Lewmar 8 single speed spinnaker winches One Lewmar 8 single speed halyard winch at mast.   ELECTRONICS AND NAVIGATION EQUIPMENT Northstar chartplotter Furuno Radar Raymarine ST60 wind Raymarine ST60 depth Raymarine ST 60 speed Raymarine ST60 multi ICOM DSC VHF Digital Yacht AIS200 receiver ICOM handheld VHF Simrad autopilot Plastimo bulkhead compass x 2   SAFETY Rule high capacity auto electric bilge pump * Whale manual bilge pump ** Plastimo ocean Danbouy Man overboard life sling Ocean safety horseshoe buoy and light * Fir
