LOCATION: VICTORIA, BC

Step aboard Tessanna, a shining testament to the craftsmanship of a 1981 JJ Taylor Contessa 32. Proudly Canadian-built, Tessanna boasts a distinctive feature that sets her apart - a wood-free core throughout the vessel. This unique attribute ensures exceptional durability, a true advantage for a vessel of her vintage. Designed with offshore cruising in mind, her interior layout has been cleverly tailored for solo adventurers or multiple couples cruising. Beyond aesthetics, Tessanna's vinylester reinforced hull eliminates concerns about blisters, a common issue for boats from her era. Additionally, her forward collision bulkhead provides an extra layer of safety during your offshore ventures.

She boasts a substantial history of care, including a significant refit in 2010 and the addition of a new mast and rigging in 2014. These updates blend the timeless allure of her original design with the modern reliability that every sailor seeks.

Tessanna carries a story that blends old and new, making it a special journey on the open sea. Imagine being on board, feeling the wind in the sails while knowing that the boat has a long history. It's like mixing tradition and new ideas, where the horizon is full of exciting adventures waiting for you to explore.
