Little Marie (SSR108827) is a lovely Contessa 32. My wife and I have  owned her since 2003. In the summer months she has been moored in Brixham outer harbour on the same mooring for the last 23 years. She has always been wintered ashore either initially at MDL Galmpton and latterly at Blackness Marine on the river Dart.  She is lightly used only and when possible in fair weather. We have been to France , Channel Islands and Isles of Scilly but mainly cruise for two or three weeks in the South West UK.

We do not use her much now so she is now looking for a new owner.
