Fun Sailing on ‘Crazy Love’ - Contessa 26 - East Coast Australia

It’s a challenging time for everyone these days and what better way to shake off the daily stresses than to hit the ocean and set sail. I was lucky enough have the opportunity to help new owner Paris on her maiden coastal voyage aboard this fun little Contessa 26. Who needs a big yacht when everything is so much simpler and more manageable on a small, well constructed yacht - like a Contessa 26, made famous many years ago by fellow female solo circumnavigator Tania Aebi. Crazy Love is quite a well known Contessa 26 and she’s off again to discover new horizons after recently crossing the Pacific. She left Mexico with two crew aboard and covered several thousand miles before changing hands in Fiji to Connor - a solo sailor who took part in the Go Easy Rally, arriving in Ozzie waters in Nov 2019. In the early 'Covid days' I assisted Connor by acting as Broker to sell Crazy Love. I introduced Paris to the boat when virtual tours and inspections were kind of ‘vogue’. Despite the distance between boat and buyer, nothing was stopping her from buying the yacht sight unseen. Her drive and determination to take on the challenge intrigued me and inspired me. This was definitely her perfect yacht although she’d never even step foot aboard! I couldn’t wait to sail Crazy Love out Sydney heads for some grass roots sailing, tiller in hand and with a fresh breeze to put us through our paces! It didn’t take long to awaken the senses. With a sweet tender helm, she exposed her agility driving effortlessly upwind slicing through the gentle swell like a hot knife through butter. If I were to compare her to a race horse I’d say, she’s as flighty as a filly, well mannered although never a bore, with a real spring in her step.. and she goes the distance. I can’t wait to read / watch the next chapter of this awesome little yachts’ life with Paris, who is clocking up the coastal miles as she heads north with Crazy Love.
