I don't live in Holland but across the pond in the States.  Keep that quiet if you can.

Hi there,

  I think the weakess point of the Co26 is wet deck core around the chain-plates it's easy to check and to fixe but if you let the chain-plates leaks for a long time it is going to get more serious and maybe you will have to change a complete bulkead.

Marco.

Add another to the list.  I found hull 295, a 1982 boat.  "Tilikum II".  Iroquois / 1000 Islands, Ontario Canada.

Guess that they didn't make too many boats in the early 80's.....

Adrian, good point about the year/hull#/Varuna issue....at the same time as Varuna and yours and my boats was also Bill Buttimore's (he had/has a webpage of his Bahamas trip with his Co26) and since these boats were high profile with many extra upgrades, yes, I believe mine was started in 1984 but finished in 1985...the previous owner said the original owner took delivery in 1985 from the factory but had ordered it a year before...
John, thank you so much for your information: where can I get a copy of your spreadsheet, as I can fill in a lot of boats for you from the Pacific Northwest Coast here!
Thanks.

Here is another one for the list.
I purchased it in Nov 2000, did an extensive refit over 14 months, then took it on a solo crossing to Europe and back.

Name: John Allan
Anchorage: Midland, Ontario, Canada
Boat: 1976, J.J. Taylor, Hull # 161, "Seeadler"
Engine: Inboard Yanmar 1GM10 diesel
HIN# ZJTD31611275
The HIN # says molded in Dec 1975, but all the paperwork says 1976.

Okay,  When I make a posting (actually an edit)in this folder it is to the actual Contessa Listing I made on page 1 (see bottom of this table and you will the last edit date).  I list whomever I just updated there, this way I do not fill up this folder with lots and lots of Thank You's for finding me new data for my Contessa Listing for both JJT and JR boats.  I hope this helps out.

My boat is:

Purchased November, 2004
Name: Mark Sherlock
Anchorage: Victoria, BC, Canada
Boat: 1979, J.J. Taylor, Hull # 216, "Aurelius"
Engine: Yanmar 1GM10

According to the number on the hull it looks like the hull was started in 1978 but finished in 1979.  It is documented as a 1979 in all the official papers.

SMH: I know of three other boats, mine included, that say one year on the HID# but all documentation is the following year:  and mine is a registered vessel (with Ship's registry...internationally registered)  and all her documentation says 1985 for her "year", but she has 84 at the end of her serial/transom #s...and she has been a registered vessel since the 1st owner picked her up brand new in 1985 in Toronto. (I am fourth owner) So, he would have presented the papers (that I still have) where he is owner of a 1985 boat, but hull id# has 84 at the end.
Egads, did she lie about her age to me when I fell for the pretty blue hull and lovely lines?!

My Contessa #161 is in the same situation. The serial # show Dec 75, but the paperwork says 1976. The first thing that goes into the mold is the impression for the HIN #, then mold release and gelcoat and time for it to harden, then the glass layup. Even though the resin is hard to the touch within a few hours, it should be left in the mold for 3 to 7 days. Then all the cabinetry and fittings and deck joined. Then there's the Christmas and New Years holidays and then the slow downs while trying to get the display ready for the Toronto boat show in January. It is surprising the boat ever gets delivered.

You can include these boats on your list.
