Overview
About this vessel
'Countessa' is a very well presented Northshore 38, having spent the majority of her life in Pittwater with only two fastidious owners since her launch in 1987.
A pleasure to sail, she is easily handled by a couple, and the model has been a proven club racer both inshore and in blue water.
The rigging and sail wardrobe were replaced in 2024, along with the addition of a Raymarine autopilot.
The 28hp Volvo Penta engine had also been replaced back in 2008.
Below deck is beautifully presented in its original form, with a comfortable double berth forward, a quarter berth aft, and enough berths to sleep seven. There is a fully functional galley to port with an LPG stove, oven, large fridge and a dedicated nav table (often no longer seen in modern boats).
