I'm pretty sure the Contessa is NOT a Canadian boat, at least originally. From Wikipedia: > The Contessa 26 was first manufactured by Jeremy Rogers in Lymington, England > in 1966. The Rogers boat works built approximately 350 Contessa 26s from 1966 > to 1977, after which the moulds were sold to Chris Carrington of Maclan > Marine, Lymington, who produced a few more during 1977/8. Another set of > moulds was shipped to Canada, where they were built until 1990 under licence > by J. J. Taylor & Sons Ltd. of Toronto. J.J. Taylors built another 400 or so > boats, originally being sold as Contessa 26s, but after 1984 being called J J > Taylor 26s - some of these later boats had a slightly modified deck moulding > with an enlarged 'hump' by the hatchway to give greater headroom, and a > slightly revised interior layout, although the hull always remained the same. >
