Broker's Comments
The very first review of the Contention 33 by Yachting World magazine back in 1976, described her as a "3/4 Tonner of just the right size for a racing boat which can be made into a sensible cruiser". A well found sea boat from the highly respected Doug Peterson and strongly built by Southern Ocean Shipyard she was at the forefront of 3/4 ton design and led the field into Contessa 34 OOD and others.
A regular winner in Haven races back in her day. "Lipstick", built in 1977, was soon to be tested, and tested she was, as she went on to survive the infamous '79 Fastnet race!
She is now comfortably equipped for cruising and is clean and dry below decks, although I am sure she could still hold her own if club racing is your sport.
A clean example of this Trojan of a 3/4 tonner. Ideal for fast cruising or club racing alike and a real opportunity to take ownership of a yacht steeped in British yacht racing history.
