    For a small boat, it moves really well upwind.

    Had the boat for just over a year and a 32 came up for sale locally. Currently the proud owner of two contessas and a somewhat annoyed wife! Trust me, a contessa collection is nice but I can only sail one...

    I think I saw this guy (and this boat) in another sailing video, of people who get to Greenland and this dude is there. They tour his boat during the "episode"

    Yes that's on one of Drake Paragon's videos while he still in Greenland. Believe the video is called something to do with Contessa 26.

    Este é um barco que agrada muito, mesmo sendo pequeno é muito valente em mar aberto, só lamento não poder comprar um e registra-lo no Brasil, aqui as leis são muito diferentes a importação..Belo vídeo!

    I wonder what he did with the kayak when sailing upwind--it disappears.

    I think you mean a jackline. And he was clipping on the lifelines instead of a jackline when needed.

    Because JJ Taylor built them in Toronto, they're very well made, and they had a very long production run with close to 400 boats made. So, that adds up to a lot of good quality used boats on the market in Canada.

    @@richardernsberger5692 Yes, caught that in the subsequent video. When in USAF in 1963 went sailing down the Kangerlussuaq Fjord bumping small bergs...wind blowing snot out of your nose. Tough sailing anywhere in Greenland. Yes, the skipper ought to shared his experience. Thx for the note.
