Hi guys,
Viewed a Contessa 26 on Sunday and fell in love with it!
However I have a couple of questions which I hope you may be able to help me with.
How well does single skin GPR construction stand the test of time? I know that foam sandwich boats can be a bit wet!
Does the Contessa justify its price at around £10,000? Or is it a better idea to buy something cheeper and spend the rest on sails etc?
Are there any similarly quick and seaworthy designs out there which I should consider?
I keep coming across the invicta 26 and just wonder how similar it is?
Also is there anyone on the South East Coast who might be interested in doing some two boat (short handed) trips in the summer?
Thanks for any help
James
