1978 Contessa 26

The Contessa 26 is as much at home racing around the buoys as she is circumnavigating the globe. Tania Aebi memorialized her solo Contessa 26 circumnavigation in her book “Maiden Voyage”. Another Contessa 26 currently won her class in the British “Round the Island” race. Blue Heron is a good example of this rugged yet comfortable pocket blue water racer/cruiser.
