The Cutter Rig was added in 2010 and a new Self-tacking Staysail was manufactured by Lonton & Gray. At the same time the Genoa was re-cut as a Yankee reducing its area to suit this cutter rig arrangement.
The owner advises that it has made her easier to handle with little or no effect on performance. See Brokers Comments section below.

Broker's Comments
The Contessa 32 class has an enviable reputation for safe, long distance cruising.
This one has a cutter rig reducing sail area forward of the mast, without appreciably reducing performance: the staysail is self- tacking for easier handling.
Due to ill health, the present owner cannot maintain or sail her to the standard he requires, hence she is on the market.
Appointments to view can be booked in advance 6-days a week directly with the Boatshed Essex office.
These boat details are subject to contract.
