Another Contessa 32 Yep! This one has suffered some delamination of the secondary bonding between the hull and some of the internal structure so I have to repair but also modify the internal structure to add strength and remove one of the known issues with this class of sailing yacht (particularly those built in the 70's and 80's). Note that these are generally very well built, strong and seaworthy vessels but they are also mostly getting pretty old now so after 50 years a bit of TLC is bound to be needed.

I’m thirsty after all that talking, buy me a beer?…. https://www.paypal.me/RefitAndSail

About Me
I run a small business called The Solent Boat Butler and spend my days repairing, maintaining and refitting sailing boats (often Contessa 32’s due to my long experience with them). I'm mostly in the central Solent area of the UK. Being a cruising and racing sailor with many thousands of inshore and offshore sea miles logged I like to think that I bring a great deal of realworld experience to my work and help many new (and not so new) boat owners to improve and maintain their boats. When I'm not fixing boats I also provide some ownboat sail training, help owners with deliveries, provide prepurchase inspections and deliver consultancy services to those that are refitting their own boats for cruising or racing.
