The boat - Bossy Boots a Contessa 32
Bossy Boots is a Contessa 32—a design with a reputation built offshore, not in a marketing brochure.
She’s been extensively upgraded—new rudder, new mast, full modern sail set—so she sails properly, responds well, and rewards good sailing.
But let’s be clear.
We’re not turning up to win on speed alone.
In a mixed fleet, we might even be at the back.
And that’s exactly why this matters.
Because this isn’t about hiding behind a fast boat or blaming the kit.
It’s about how well you sail.
Holding a lane off the start.
Nailing a tack under pressure.
Finding speed where there shouldn’t be any.
Working as a crew when it counts.
On Bossy Boots, every gain is earned.
And that’s what makes it satisfying.
You’ll feel the difference when you get it right.
You’ll know why when you don’t.
And by the end, you’ll be sailing better—properly better.
We race hard.
We improve fast.
And we enjoy the hell out of it along the way.
Not the fastest boat on the water.
But one of the most rewarding to race well.
