Broker's Comments

This is a very well presented Contessa 28 having been built in 1980 but launched in 1982 she has been well maintained over the years, providing light and airy accommodation and sleeps 4 easily but will sleep 6 if needed. These boats sail like a dream and there are not too many for sale so if you are looking for a 28 this one is a must.
