Northshore 38 - For Sale

$79,000.00

‘Countessa’ is a very well presented Northshore 38. Having spent majority of her life in Pittwater with only two fastidious owners since her launch in 1987.

A pleasure to sail, she is easily handled by a couple and the model has been a proven club racer both inshore and blue water.

Rigging and sail wardrobe were replaced in 2024 along with the addition of a Raymarine autopilot.

The 28hp Volvo Penta engine had also been replaced back in 2008.

Below deck is beautifully presented in its original form with a comfortable double berth forward, a quarter berth aft, and enough berths to sleep seven. There is a fully functional galley to port with an LPG stove, oven, large fridge and a dedicated nav table (often no longer seen in modern boats).

Contact Michael Coxon on 0406 653 300 for further information or to arrange a viewing.
