Description

ANDARA, has undergone an extensive structural and cosmetic refit under her current owner of 13 years. The interior was stripped down to the longitudinal stringers and rebuilt with new bulkheads, furniture, water and electrical systems and electronics. A large portion of the cabinhouse and deck was re-cored at the same time. In short, this vessel is one of the most modern and structurally sound Contessa 35's to be found today. In addition, the hull was stripped below the waterline and barrier coated in 2010 and the topsides Awlgripped in 2014.. This is a beautiful boat to behold and one that can take her new owner around the world or around the buoys with equal ease.
