Would love if you made the same video but with a 100K budget

Excellent review.
Photos match narrative with lots of additional and relevant/insightful info.

Hi love the channel! Quick Q: What is the boat in the first three seconds of the video? Looks nice.

Hey,
My name is Unity, we met at the Musto shop in Gunwharf at Christmas. I was very excited to hear about your business and your life in La Rochelle.
I mentioned my Year Abroad, and how I am trying to find a sailing-related 'stage' placement in France for September 23 onwards. I'd love the chance to talk to you, hear more about what you do, and maybe to sail sometime in the future.

I sent you an email a ocuple of weeks ago but maybe this is a better way to contact you!

I think the contessa’s real claim to fame, involved a particular stormy, Fastnet race some time ago, from which several other bigger and presumably better equipped boats, either retired from the race or, in some cases, actually sunk. The contessa finished relatively unscathed. I stand 185 cm tall and needed to duck inside the one I visited. I think it needed more hand-holds inside, if I remember correctly, at least if rough passages are contemplated

The first 38 came in 2 versions.
The std 38 and the Brett Stark 38s5.
The 38s5 has different windows and a nicer interior fit out with curved wood.
I believe a different rig but nit sure.
The S version runs from 32s5 to 42s5 .
They are different beasts fron the std 32, 35, 38, s ect.

A worthy Number one, I was after a Contessa 32 for literally years. Only knocked into second place by a Rival, before they became Rival Bowman. Sadly neither are any use to me as a zsailboat any longer. Maybe Next Reincarnation. 😀 Best Wishes and Fair Winds. Bob. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

You are mixing up foto's of First 38 and First 38s5. They are not the same. Also HR312 MK1 and MKII are quite different (headroom).

Hi. Very interesting the HR 312
What's the price??
And where is now???
I'm interessed please contact me.

I've got a centurion 32 and for my money it's a better boat than the contessa.
Better build quality and finish and more freeboard so a lot drier. Other than that it's exactly the same as the contessa.

I would never sail the Beneteau across an ocean. The spade rudders and bolted on bulb keel are too vulnerable.

The Contessa's headroom is about 5'10" max, so it's a great boat for someone vertically challenged. The HR isn't as bad but at 6' ots still insufficient.

There are definitely better alternatives IMHO. A Tayana 37 is one.
