The J.J.Taylor Contessa 26 is one of the best proven ocean-going designs available today, irrespective of size and the fact that this 26-footer has sucessfully completed any number of major blue water passages is a testimony to the construction quality of the yacht. J.J.Taylor contessa 26 was selected by Tania Aebi for her solo circumnavigation.
Part of the reason for the appeal of this yacht to offshore sailors is that she is designed for safety and comfort at sea, while providing practical and tested accommodations below. The full keel ensures excellent
tracking and with 2,300 lbs of lead ballast, she can really stand up to a blow. She is not one the new ultralights and has seakeeping qualities and a motion trough the water usually associated with a much bigger
boat. So, while safety and comfort are prime considerations it is good to know that the J.J.Taylor Contessa 26 has very close winded sailing characteristics and is happy on all points of sail.
Because these boats are built to go anywhere, enormous attention is given to their construction to ensure years of trouble free sailing.
S/V Ushuaia é um pequeno barco de 26 pés 7,92 metros modelo Contessa 26 construído por J.J.Taylor em Toronto Canadá no ano de 1977. Em 2006 adquiri-o para fazer uma viagem em solitário pelo Atlântico com saída prevista para Agosto de 2012. Este blogue serve para informar os amigos e demais seguidores das obras realizadas e a realizar durante estes quase 6 anos até á realização da viagem. Posteriormente será um meio de informação das aventuras ou desventuras deste velho e utópico marinheiro.
