These three featured boats have all had their asking prices reduced. As with all Boatshed boats we have an extensive slideshow of images for each boat for sale. Click each link to see the full specifications and all the photos.

Contessa 32 now £17,500

The Contessa 32 class (pictured) 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 easierhandling.

Due to ill health, the present owner cannot maintain or sail her to the standard he requires, hence she is on the market.

Beneteau First 211 now £7,950

The Beneteau First 211 offers great sailing performance and respectable accommodation. They are quite suited to club racing or cruising;the lifting keel making them ideal for exploring the back waters.

This boat had some good inventory notably new sails in 2010 and a new outboard in 2012.

The interior upholstery is getting quite scruffy and will need replacing in the not too distant future; but overall this boat looks sound, it just needs a little TLC, but it is priced very competitively to reflect this.

Samphire 26 now £5,995

The Samphire 26 is a sea worthy long keel yacht. The interior is spacious for a yacht of this length and classic styling. This one had a nice Beta 3-Cylinder diesel engine fitted in 2004 and it has only completed 155 hours running since.

Appointments to view any of these boats can be arranged in advance 6 days a week by contacting the Boatshed Essex office direct.
