Step into sailing history with the 1975 Contessa 32 RAPHAELLA, an exemplar of one of the most celebrated yachts of all time. Designed by the renowned David Sadler and crafted by Jeremy Rogers in the UK, the Contessa 32 is a true legend in the sailing world. Revered for her ability to handle all sea conditions with grace and reliability, the Contessa 32 has become a benchmark for seaworthiness and performance. Sought after by sailors and collectors alike, RAPHAELLA offers a rare opportunity to own an enduring classic, renowned for her timeless lines and proven pedigree.
RAPHAELLA’s build showcases the hallmarks that have made the Contessa 32 so iconic: her over engineered GRP hull, slender beam, and a fin keel with a skeg-hung rudder for optimal control in heavy weather. Her updates include a Beta Marine BD722 engine (installed 2007), shore power, a Forgen wind generator, and a Spectra solar panel for reliable off-grid sailing. Below deck, her thoughtful layout features a forward V-berth, a welcoming saloon with U-shaped seating, and a practical galley complete with a Plastimo cooker and refrigerator. Every element reflects the craftsmanship and enduring quality that make these yachts so cherished.
Widely regarded as the ultimate cruiser-racer, RAPHAELLA is equipped to deliver on the promise of adventure. Her navigation suite includes a Garmin GPSMAP 500 chartplotter and integrated AIS, ensuring confidence on any passage. With her teak-laid aft cockpit, Seago inflatable dinghy, and full anchoring setup, she’s as ready for coastal cruising as she is for bluewater voyages. Owning a Contessa 32 is a badge of honor in the sailing community, and RAPHAELLA offers you a chance to join this elite tradition.
