The Contessa 25 represents a pivotal moment in the history of Jeremy Rogers Ltd., marking the builder's transition from the traditional, long-keeled designs of David Sadler to the performance-oriented, IOR-influenced geometry of Doug Peterson. Launched in the mid-1970s as a Quarter Tonner, the Contessa 25 was built to provide a competitive racing platform that could still offer a modicum of coastal cruising utility. While it never reached the massive production numbers of its siblings, the 26 and the 32, it remains a highly regarded vessel among purists who value the sharp handling and technical sophistication typical of Peterson’s early work.
