Contessa 32

​

In 2001, Ian Clover bought two Monitors and fitted them to two Contessa 32's. Ian and his son Seb then raced each other, solo, across the Atlantic. An article by Ian about setting their boats up appeared in the April 2003 issue of "Cruising World". Early in 2004, Ian Clover bought a third Monitor - for Seb's mother's Contessa 26. We have photos of ten Monitor installations on Contessa 32's.
