Topic: I am thinking of buying a contessa?
I am about to buy a contessa here in ALaska, I am new to sailing but grew up on the water of Prince William sound as a commercial fishing deckhand for many years as a young woman. The boat is well appointed and has many bells and whisteles including a new deisel engine. I think the price is quite high though, the current owner is willing to let me pay payment and its in my hometown harbor. Any thoughts are ideas are appreciated. It sounds like a Contessa is a good fit for a new sailor with a young son. As my skill grows I can leave the Kachamak Bay and head out to the sound and foirds and even the gulf, after a few years any way! I am open to ideas, thoughts advice ect.
