Colvic Countess 33 (1997) for sale in Birdham, United Kingdom

English

1997 Colvic Countess 33 deck saloon, sloop rig, with Vetus M4.14 33hp inboard diesel engine. Hull produced by Colvic in 1988 and the boat was carefully fitted out over the following 9 years or so. Domino is a super spacious cruiser with loads of headroom for the taller sailor. For 33 feet she has loads of accommodation within her beamy hull and storage compartments everywhere you look. Sleeping for 7 and separate, private cabins and heads; she's ideal for the family or a boat share. Easy to sail, she has proven to be a safe and reliable boat, mainly used in the Solent with longer trips to France and the Channel Islands. Small blisters were identified on the hull about 9 years ago and have been easily managed since, with the boat benefitting from wintering ashore. Recent (March 2024) hull survey available. Recently reduced and priced to sell by motivated owners ready to move on - this is a lot of boat for the money. Available to view by appointment at Birdham Pool Marina.

Where such a maintenance schedule is undertaken, the surveyor concluded that Domino has many years of safe sailing in her
