This past weekend I had the honor of seeing and sailing on Dennis Gray's Contessa (#248) on Mobile Bay 26 in 25 knot winds (small craft advisory was up). We were one of two sailboat out that morning. I got the feeling that this sailboat enjoyed this rough condition, even after Dennis had stated this was Contessa weather. Hopefully my job situation will settles down soon, I can start the search to find one to own and sail.
Anyway, I was wondering if there was anyway this board could develop a spreadsheet or something that people could visit that would list owners Contessa 26 hull number, if Canada JJ Taylor or British made, home port, and boat's name (if it has one). Dennis had made the comment that every harbor he had visited he has seen a Contessa. I now know of three location and wonder how true his statement was. I would think others would be interesting as they were cruising around also. Just a thought.
