The Contessa 26 is a popular, sturdy, and well-regarded small sailboat known for its seaworthiness and ability to handle diverse conditions. While its narrow hull provides a comfortable ride and good windward performance. The boat is well-suited for both coastal cruising and extended voyages, including single-handing, and has earned a reputation for being a capable and reliable vessel.
Based on, and often mistaken for, the classic S&S Swan 38, the GECCO 39 is a well-designed and well-built sailing boat that offers a combination of comfort, performance, and ease of handling. It is suitable for both experienced sailors and those new to sailing, making it a popular choice for cruising and leisurely adventures on the water.
This Alan Buchanan 38ft Queens Class MK 3 is an example of one of the first GRP Yachts moulded by Tylers of Tonbridge in Kent and fitted out by Priors of Burnham-on-Crouch. She is uniquely rare, and is believed to be one of only five copies of the Mark 3 (marketed as the ‘Queen Class 38’) still in commission of the famous racing Yacht “Vashti” (wooden) designed by Alan Buchanan. Her Classic lines are built for racing and she is a joy to sail.
