Happy man!....
I had one many many years ago. She had a Vire 2 stroke that had an attitude problem. Apart from that, I have very fond memories of her. We even made it to North West Spain from the UK. No GPS, plotter, AIS, radar or even running water. A fun, if wet, boat to sail.
Yes she is. I hope to sail around the coast of Nova Scotia and eventually make it to Newfoundland.
Acting was good. Direction was on point. Highly recommended!!!! A real adventure for the whole family
Nice little sailboat.
I know that boat! Used to be called Precious Time!!!
That was great!👍 Thanks!
You have impeccable, taste in boats!
Thank you. You have great videos. I’ve watched many of them. Very informative.
Great video 👍🏻
Thank you.
Hello, I really liked your videos on the Contessa 26. Do you still have it? It seems really safe and I would have liked to see its behavior in slightly larger waves. In any case the videos are nice, as is the dinghy. Au revoir 😉
Yes. I still have it. I’ll be heading back to Nova Scotia in May to pull out the diesel engine and install a QT10 electric yacht motor. I the Contessa 26 is definitely a safe blue water boat. I also can’t wait to go out in bigger seas. I sailed it for a week and the diesel engine died for good on me. It’s an original Feryman 7, very hard to get parts. Thank you.
Errr.....how did you go from a CL16 in Montreal to a Contessa 26 in Mahone Bay ?? BTW love your bimini from a previous sail 🙂
I use the same Bimini on the Contessa. Works great.
I bought the Contessa last March. Sailed it for a week and the engine died. I’m replacing it with an Electric Yacht QT10 motor soon. I live in Montréal and drive between the CL16 and Contessa. Would like to have some ocean sailing adventures as well.
@@spirosailingtime that is some distance to travel to spend time on a larger sailing vessel.
@@m.bernard7017 yes. Sometimes I question my decisions. But I really like Nova Scotia. I hope to sail to Newfoundland one day. It’s a 13 hour drive. I’ll go for 2 weeks at a time. And maybe I’ll find that I can’t handle solo ocean sailing and just trailer the boat to Montreal.
@@spirosailingtime We sail in protected bays off the Northumberland Straight near Shediac/Cocagne NB - you could make it here in about 11 hours from Montreal.
Would be a good experience to sail from Mahone Bay to here before the Magdalen Island and or Newfoundland
@@m.bernard7017 my friend has a cottage in Burnt Church NB. I’ve promised him I would sail to his place. Your area would be a nice stop on the way.
But I think I’ll have a couple of years of sailing around Nova Scotia before I venture further.
Thank you so much for the contessa footage. Love the video more please turn camera sideways get wide format for TH-cam. Check my old girl out if you get a chance.
Yes. I know. I’ll make sure I get it right on the next one. Good job on your hull. Lots of work.
My comments are being removed by TH-cam. It seems that if I leave you my email address, my phone number or my name, my comment disappears. Anyway, I live in PEI and just wanted to discuss your engine issues, share information I have (we are experiencing the same frustrating decisions reference our Contessa 26s), talk about possible solutions, and make a new friend. Let me know if you would like to discuss electric verses diesel verses an outboard for our Contessa 26s. I can provide you with some info ref the Beta installed in Contessa 26s. I'm thinking of installing a new Yanmar in mine.
Hi. Would love to chat. Let me see how I can get my contact info to you.
If you search Spiro on the contessa 26 Facebook group you will find me there and can direct message me. I didn’t find you there.
real yacht¡¡
