The first was a sailboat Contessa 26, released in 1966. It was successfully tested. The vessel was designed for the long distances races.

Later, in 1970, there was a boat Contessa 32, an upgraded version of the 26 model. This yacht was designed by Jeremy Rogers and designer David Sadler, who was also involved in design of the previous sailboat. This boat participated in one of the legendary races and gained worldwide fame.

Then they produced the other ships of the same class that were also designed for the races and regattas. The racing yachts were equipped with the reliable single diesel engines and were consistently made of fiberglass. Due to the fiberglass the manufacturer managed to make these boats watertight, lightweight and durable.
