Remarks : During the owners 3 years ownership Asterix has done about 3750 Nautical Miles and has cruised the South Coast, Normandy and South West Ireland. She has proved to be a very capable cruising yacht in all weathers, easily handled ( Nearly all the owners sailing, has been single handed) and fast for her size. Her previous owners are believed to have used her mainly for club racing and the MCG27 is well suited to that roll as well as cruising.Remarks : During the owners 3 years ownership Asterix has done about 3750 Nautical Miles and has cruised the South Coast, Normandy and South West Ireland.

James Jermain, who used to carry out test sails for Yachting Monthly described the MGC27 / Contessa 27 as follows: " The sailing part of our trials in this boat really sticks in our mind as the C27. She was one of the best, quickest, sweetest handling boats I had sailed in many years. If I had had the money I would have bought one on the spot " Accommodation : Head 1 x Jabasco Water 2 x 50 Litre Tanks (PVC Flexible) Saloon Open Plan Saloon which accommodates 4 Berths (1 Double and 2 Singles) Inventory : General Equipment Searchlight Horn Fenders x 6 Boathook Masthead Tri Colour (LED 2017) Steaming Light (2017) Running Lights (2017)Sprayhood Safety Equipment Liferaft (Service due Marchx Lifebuoy Fire Blanket Manual Fire Extingushers x 4 ( 2 new in 2015) Bilge Pumps 1 x Manual Navigation Equipment Plastimo Compass Raymarine Echo Sounder/Log/Speed VHF Standard Horizon GX2200E (2017) Garmin 276 Plotter (2008) The VHF/AIS receiver has command mic in cockpit and cockpit speakers Mechanical and Rigging : Volvo Penta 2001 Diesel Engine 1 Cylinder with Sea Water Cooling Last Service October 2017 Single Lever Morse 2 Blade Folding Prop Sail Drive 2 x Lewmar 30 Genoa Winches 2 x Lewmar 16 Halyard Winches 1 x Lewmar 7 Reefing Winch Stainless Steel Rigging replaced 2008 Mainsail Slab Reefing CQR Anchor 20lb with 30m 8mm Chain 12 Volt Batteries x 2 Sails Main made by Dolphin in 2008 Self Tacking Jib made by Kemp Sails Genoa made by Crusader Sails in 2006 Jib 100% made by Dolphin in 2005 Spinnaker made by Dolphin in 2013 Heavy Weather Jib made by Sanders
