They say the happiest days in a boat owner’s life are the day he buys a
boat and the day he sells it. 29 March 2014 was a happy day for Radoslav Parashkov :)
I became proud owner of the legendary Contessa 26. I am the third or the forth owner of the ship. The boat has been produced in 1976 by Jeremy Rogers:
The number of the boat is 280, but funnily in the customs papers it is wrongly recorded as 28.
Sasha is the third name of the boat, first she has been sent to Wells under the name of Myfanwy ("Beloved" in Gaelic.) In 1990 she was moved to the Netherlands and named from the new owner "Dansende zon" ("Dancing sun" in Dutch) because of the nice sunset reflections on her port side one evening. Her next owners got her around 2000 (she was co-owned) and decided to keep the name. In March 2014 she became property of my family. This is her story :)
