Had a 1972 Contessa in Canada built by Taylor. Interestingly, the cockpit seats were longer, with just a small section of deck wrapping around the stern. Had to keep plugs in the cockpit drains at the back if there were more than two people on board or the water would siphon back in! A fantastic sailing boat, with the rail down, she would track like a train, and fast! Such beautiful lines.

@russellcroghan8956 Год назад

My work colleague owned Galadriel back in the eighties. For a good ten years. We totally repainted and Osmosis trated her etc. She had a Vire 2 stroke petrol engine then.

@ianscott3180 Год назад

I had a Contessa 26 back in the late seventies. Great little boat to sail but the Vire 2 stroke was something else. It had an attitude and would stop for no good reason other than you were in a narrow channel with a ferry bearing down on you. Had I kept her a diesel was no 1 on my list of upgrades.

@@ianscott3180 Yes, the infamous Contessa 26 Vire. I feel your pain, been there! 😂

Great little sailboat.

Salesdude, just a hint..anyone buying this boat knows what all the stuff onboard is, and how it works. Its not an impulse buy. The guys who dont know will buy a hunter or a hanse or whatever. They wont even look at this. This is for people with small budgets who want to be safe 1000nm from land in a force 10 gale.

not true, I am in the market for a yacht priced around this point and I am a newbie. I really like the look of this and the info provided is helpful for me.

@ALifeMoreBoaty 18 дней назад

Thanks, that's the whole point of this channel, and my goal to show my viewers as many different boats as possible, from the comfort of their own home. 328 videos so far, another 60 edited and ready to go. With Cannes, Southampton and Dusseldorf boatshows booked for more content creation.

Nice longkeeler, i have a nicholson 32 since week. Oldschool sturdy boats

@wahid-lg1kk 7 месяцев назад

I am presently shopping for one of those. Bulletproof and very good numbers. PVS is what, 160? Better? Capsize is 1.6..B/D 55! May end up with the 35. Same boat slightly longer, slightly better numbers.

Beautiful little boat

@Goran2551 4 месяца назад

She is very similar to my Australian made1972 Triton 26 ….except for the head which is at the front bow….and the sink and galley are where the head is and storage / cloak room is …mines a 2 cylinder Yan mar

@Andy1989 8 месяцев назад

Everything about this boat was designed with keep it simple in mind. It was clearly built to be solid as a rock and not be a headache to maintain or operate.

@ALifeMoreBoaty 8 месяцев назад

So true.

Para mim é um barco perfeito, desejo saber o pé direito da cabine, outro detalhe é que vivo no Brasil e as leis aqui proibem registro de embarcaçoes estangeiras, a menos que se pague altas taxas que seria quase o valor de outro barco, mas amo ese projeto do Contessa 26.

@ALifeMoreBoaty Год назад

Desculpe, ela foi vendida agora.

@bos6782 Год назад

Its a Tiller pilot. The contraption on back of boat

@jimevans9550 Месяц назад

This myth about the Contessa 26 just won’t die. The fact is that this was a tender, slow, heavy design, difficult to handle under power, cramped below and versions built by anyone except the original English builder were of very doubtful build quality. There are better boats out there.

@MS-ji6oj Год назад

What a nice boat. Which parts do require fixes/replacements?

@ALifeMoreBoaty Год назад

Hi Sorry, I dont know the answer to that question as I did not get too involved in looking.

@ALifeMoreBoaty 4 месяца назад

Hi, yes it's sold. I don't know the exact price, other than it was very close to asking.

@rctaylor5689 Год назад

Where was this vessel built & what is the name of the builder? It looks identical to those built by Taylor in Toronto, Canada. Yes, the Contessa 26 is a fantastic sailboat, especially when single handed.

@ALifeMoreBoaty Год назад

HI RC Taylor, she was built by Jeremy Rodgers in Lymington (they are still around today) in 1972 from a design by David Sadler. So could easily be the same boat. Thanks for watching.
