    The yacht delivery of a beautiful Contessa 32 from Gosport to Falmouth.
    We provided a highly experienced and qualified Yachtmaster Ocean skipper to help the proud new owner with the delivery to Falmouth.
    The owner was delighted with the service provided and said the following:
    "The professional skipper was wonderful.
    Very experienced, knowledgeable, calm and great fun...
    Halcyon made the purchase and delivery possible.
    It was a bonus to learn so much about the boat from
    the skipper during the process."
    The music featured is "The Floodgates" by Logan Nickleson, "Familiar Things" by The Whole Other, "Late Night Drive" by Nat Keefe and Beat Mower and "Voices" by Patrick Patrikios.

    I first read of a Contessa 32 nearly 40 years ago in Sailing magazine I recall about 2 sailors who sailed non stop from Maine south around Cape Horn to San Francisco east to west passage. I've been obsessed by this boat ever since.

      @@robertcooke1774 Just took a look. Yep, I think I'm going to have to change my sweeping statement to that style of boat will never be beated, the beautiful sweeping Folkboat hull with the lifeboat style superstructure. To me, that style is perfect mate.

      @@Doberman290 I probably should have specified boats under 30 feet, as there's always some awkward bugger who wants to argue! Only mucking about Doberman29, we are definitely on the same wavelength.

      These classic designs may appear dated relative to newer designs but often sail much better as many of the newer designs don’t cut through the water nearly as well and slam down instead! Kudos to you and congrats on your Contessa 32! Fair winds and safe passage making!! 😎👍🏼

    A wet out of date submarine with limited room below. Over priced for what it is. Loads of boats look just as good & have far moor room & sail faster. Why on earth anyone would want one is anyones guess.

    Hah! You've got a furling genoa, all the better to ROLL 'ER UP, EDDIE! when the wind is Force Three or less. On goes the diesel topsail, hammering and clattering away, fouling the entire vessel and destroying completely the joy of sailing. Sad to see you missing out on so much, like the fool glued to his television set as life goes by outside. CSI Newark just starting!
