Contessa 32 1990

Introducing the METEOR, a remarkable blue-water cruiser designed by David Sadler and built in Canada by J.J. Taylor to meet Lloyds Standards. This stunning vessel is equipped with brand new standing and running rigging, a refreshed engine service, new interior cushions, a new battery charger, and brand new batteries. A sailing dinghy with included sails is also part of the package. The Contessa 32, a modern classic, is celebrated for its seaworthy design and has become the benchmark for offshore cruising yachts. Known for its speed, comfort, and sea-kindliness, the Contessa 32 proved its mettle during the notorious 1972 OSTAR where a sister ship finished 4th overall, outpacing larger competitors. Its design features a long keel, moderate displacement, and a narrow beam that ensures stability and excellent performance in heavy weather. This yacht revolutionized the perception of 'small' offshore boats, demonstrating that a well-crafted 32-footer could safely traverse oceans and withstand storms. With hundreds built, many Contessa 32s are still sailing today, renowned for their durability and longevity. This iconic vessel is not only nostalgic but has earned a serious reputation through real-world performance in challenging conditions. The Contessa 32 remains a gold standard among small offshore cruisers, proving that a small, well-designed yacht can be a formidable ocean-going vessel that continues to influence modern sailing.
