So why is my boat called 'Ploughboy Dreamer'

Well the boat is named after an old family boat called 'Ploughboy', below is a picture of the original Nobby Ploughboy in her restored glory, racing at Conway River festival Nobby Race 2005.  I dare say it's even more beautiful than my boat !

Design

Design Plans and statistics for the Contessa 26 and a copy of the original brochure (Canadian Taylor yachts version)

History

Known history of Moonshine taken from previous bills of sale, receipts and information provided by the Contessa 26 Association. There are still some gaps in the early history of the boat and any further information would be most welcome.

Purchase Survey

Copy of the survey which was given to me by the seller, this was very comprehensive and approximately  12 months old. I've annotated in the survey jobs which I've completed so far.

Pictures
