Good Day All,

My wife and I are considering the purchase of a Contessa 26, as a slight upgrade from a Rhodes Bantam 14' and later a Cape Dory 25.  We have read much about the boat, have talked with Tania Aebi, (who lives nearby), and have identified a couple of vessels in good shape and affordable.  Unfortunately, the nearest one for sale that we know of is 8 hours away.  So, we live in Plainfield, central VT, and are looking for an owner/vessel, less than 8 hours away, where we could tour the boat for size and accommodations and see if it is the "fit" that we hope it is.

Safety:  We are both fully vaccinated, continue to wear our face coverings around strangers, and would expect the same.

Please do give us a call at 802-479-4326, landline, or you can call/text my cell at 802-505-3996.

Thanks and we hope to hear from you soon,

Hi All,

We are very serious about purchasing a Contessa 26, however, the closest one for sale around Vermont is 8 hours away.  Before we take the long drive, is there anyone local in VT, NH, that could give us a tour of their Contessa 26, so we can see if the Contessa truly "fits" our needs.  Other vessels of interest are the Albin Vega 27, and the P.S. Dana 24. so if there is anyone who has owned one of those in the past, before the Contessa, it would be great to talk with you. 
PS: as far as a boat tour, we are both Covid 19 vaccinated, and faithfully wear our masks in public. 

Hope to hear from you, please,

Hi Virago Deb,
I realize this is a long shot, however, Covid 19 has brought a number of things to a standstill in this world.  I am very interested in purchasing a Contessa 26 this year, and would be pleased to hear that yours is for sale.  If so, I would appreciate a call or text to bobattwo AT gmail dot com, or a call/text to eightZeroTwoFiveZeroFiveThreeNineNineSix. 
Thank you so much,
Bob in VT
