Topic: Live aboard

I don't think it will be a good choice, it's too small inside. Take a look at the Albin Vega 27, it has a huge cabin for the size.

Re: Live aboard

In order to survive a Contessa 26 live-aboard experience you would have to meet certain criteria:

1. Be less than 4’ 7” in height.
2. Be a clinically proven masochist.
3. Be one of twelve siblings raised in a mobile home OR have spent your childhood in the company of pigmy cave bats.
4. Have no changes of clothing that can’t be rolled up and be able to dress in a crouched position.
5. Have only the simplest dietary needs that don’t require food storage.
6. Be under the care of a shrink located within walking distance.

Seriously, the boat is too small for most normally sized people to seriously consider.  There are better choices.

Re: Live aboard

I am considering buying a boat under 28' feet in length as a live aboard.  Would the contessa 26 fit the role of a live aboard well?
