NOTES
- Contessa hull numbers started at 1 and sail numbers started at 100.
- When sail number 299 was reached the next sail number was 1201.
- Sail and hull numbers did not always progress in step due to some boats being bought as kits and finished later.
- Hull numbers may no longer be present but should be found stamped on a small piece of plywood on the sternpost accessed from the aft deck hatch.
- A few boats were built by Maclan Marine from 1977
- A large number of boats with modified upper decks were built by JJ Taylor in Canada under licence. The Canadian boats had a taller rig and a longer cockpit than the U.K. boats, and they also had a minimal aft deck due to additional cockpit length.
