The Contessa 32 is modern classic, which has become the benchmark for seaworthy offshore cruising yachts. These elegant yachts are fast, comfortable, sea kindly and ever-popular. She has been well maintained over the years undergoing a significant refit in 2013 in preparation for the ARC in 2015. In the past 3 years Pisces had another refit at Jeremy Rogers to being her further up to take with a new engine, sails, covers and electronics all added. A truly remarkable yacht!
