Contessa 32

'Jemma of Bosham' represents a rare opportunity to acquire a Contessa 32 that has benefited from a level of upgrading and ongoing investment rarely found in yachts of her class and age. While the Contessa 32 is universally respected for her outstanding seaworthiness, timeless design and offshore pedigree, many examples remain largely original. By contrast, 'Jemma of Bosham' has been extensively upgraded and modernised offering her next owner the opportunity to enjoy all the virtues of this iconic design with all the features of a modern yacht but without the significant cost, time and disruption associated with major refurbishment projects. The boat has been restored with practicality in mind, with all the key work required to make it safe, seaworthy and fully usable now complete. Only cosmetic finishing touches remain. Rather than focusing on superficial appearance, the owner has invested time and money into the structural, mechanical and safety aspects giving the next owner a solid, reliable boat that can be used immediately. What's left is primarily cosmetic—minor aesthetic improvements that can be tackled over time according to personal preference. Upgrades include just some of the following - brand new all spars mast and standing + running rigging (2026), new Beta 25 engine (2026), new Sanders Vectran 130% cruising Genoa (2026), B&G Triton 2 instruments with wireless anemometer (2026), Raymarine evolution tiller pilot (2026), completely new re-wire with addition of Victron solar panel, battery monitor and solar regulator (2026), new leisure and start batteries (2026) and all windows and hatches replaced (2026). An outstanding opportunity to acquire a substantially upgraded Contessa 32 with the benefit of significant investment already made by her current owners.
