Alcyone is presented in very good condition having completed a 2,000 nm summer season in Europe in 2024. Because of this all systems are tried, tested and working well.
Originally launched in 1981, she returned to Jeremy Rogers yard in 2007 for an extensive refit, re-launching again in 2008. See full specification for details of the refit and 2024 additions and upgrades which include an excelleent Lithium battery setup and new electronics. Alcyone has been based in Lymington for the last 12 months and lightly used in that period. For personal reasons now availble for sale after only a short ownership. Last ashore spring 2025 and last engine service April 2025. A Contessa 32 that has been upgraded, looked after and is ready to go.
