-I bought the boat last June from Barry Alten but I’m afraid I’ve gotten too old to cruise her. She’s on the hard in Oriental , NC. I’m sanding the exterior teak and hopingto have a new awning made for her.
I’m asking the same price I paid for her….$17,900.00 as I believe this is the fair price for a Contessa of this quality. I hate bargaining….it makes no sense to me.

SOLD: 1981 JJ Taylor Contessa 26
I am selling my JJ Taylor Contessa 26. She sleeps 4, has a head, stove, icebox and sink with fresh water hold. Powered by an inboard German Farymann diesel she is very economical under power. She’s extremely stable under sail and has a solid feel even with the gunnels submerged. You will find her an excellent choice as a family day sailer for both local and distance sails. She comes with an Autohelm, VHF, spare sails, new upholstery, new dodger, new sail covers and Comox moorage. Please call 250 792-4810 or email me for a showing.

Sold: 1983 JJ Taylor Contessa 26
Currently located in Oriental, NC
- This boat is in wonderful condition and has traveled more than 4000 miles in the past year. She is ready to go!
- She has a reliable 10 hp Bukh inboard diesel in great running condition.
- There are many new and recent parts including:
- Almost new sails (first used in 2010)—Main, storm jib, working jib, and 135% genoa. 110% Genoa is in fair shape and is my most-used sail.
- Recent standing and running rigging (2009)
- New genoa track cars
- Self-tailing Lewmar 16 cockpit winches
- Custom mainsheet traveler system with Lewmar traveler
- Mast rewired with new masthead lights in 2009
- Cape Horn self-steering vane—works beautifully! I only steer in channels and harbors or if there is NO wind!
- Less than 200 hours on new engine mounts, cutless bearing, shaft packing, and new water-lift muffler
- Water pump rebuilt 50 hours ago—new spare parts on board as well
- Racing-smooth bottom with Interlux VC-17 bottom paint and factory barrier coat
- Head with holding tank
- 19-lb Danforth style anchor with chain and braided rode
- Raymarine VHF
- Depthsounder, new in box
I pulled, polished, inspected, and re-bedded all of the chainplates and also re-bedded some of the deck hardware this winter.
Price: $15,900.
The boat is on the hard in Oriental, NC. She had been a Lake Erie boat her whole life until this winter, when she took me down the rivers to the Gulf of Mexico and now this far back up the East Coast. Her engine has been flushed and all the salt scrubbed off the boat, so she isn’t deteriorating from corrosion while she sits. If she doesn’t sell soon, then I will take her back up to Lake Erie where she has her trailer. The boat and trailer can be purchased together for $17,000 unless one of them sells separately first.
If desired, I will deliver this boat by sea from Oriental to points on the east or gulf coasts of the US, or the Great Lakes.
Contact me at 508-364-1459 or sy.cavendysh (at) gmail (dot) com
If I don’t respond right away it is because I am at sea. I will get back to you!

SOLD: 1974 JJ Taylor Contessa 26 #96 "SOOLAIMON"
Present owner since 1976. Registered by name for international sailing.
Original gelcoat. Dark green hull, white deck. No osmosis.
Working jib, mainsail, 150% genoa, plus spare 150% genoa. Anchor, VHF radio, folding steel cradle. Four upgraded cockpit winches.
Original Petter diesel was removed in 1983. Prop shaft and stuffing box still in place.

This is an excellent upgrade project. Needs rewiring, new battery, general tidying up and cosmetic work.
To be launched May 7, 2011, Toronto, Canada.
Unlimited advice, sailing lessons etc from 65 year old present owner.
PRICE: $4,500 Canadian. ( Without outboard : $3,000. )

1970s Contessa 26 for sale
Pisces is a JJ Taylor made vessel constructed in the early 70s. I purchased the boat in Kingston, Ontario in the fall of 1998 and believe I’m the 5th owner of the vessel. Growing family and work obligations are leaving me less time to take advantage of this splendid cruiser. She is a wonderful boat for anyone looking to improve their seamanship, cruise the Great Lakes, or even take her further. I have set up a website describing her features, a list of projects that I’ve identified, the conditions of purchase, and information on best days to view the boat at http://www.co26.info.
Serious inquires only please.
