A Contessa 35 a little special: it is prepared for high-level races by the best French specialists at the moment.

In the middle of the Seventy Years, the Palynodie, designed by Olin Stephens and owned by the Marsellés businessman and politician Gaston Defferre, who was among other historical things mayor of that French city won all the races with surprising continuity. In those times the French nautical magazine par excellence was Neptune Nautisme, whose writing was made up of a series of navigators whose names are part of the history of the navigation of French regattas: Alain Gliksman, Michel Malinovski and others. His landlord, Henry de Constantin de Chateauneuf wanted to challenge Gaston Defferre in his own Mediterranean waters and driven by his journalists, set to look for the right boat: it was not difficult to find him. In 1974 he won the One Ton Cup an English building boat: the prototype of the Contessa 35, called Gumboots, designed by Dough Peterson, then young and unknown. His builder, Jeremy Rogers, was also the ship's helm and although very young, he did not already need presentations, because he had already built successful ships and the quality of his work was well established. Malinovski had tried the series model and had been very impressed by its balance between sail performance and cruise comfort. The new ship's gestation lasted two years and Malinovski himself was working in the shipyard for a long time. On board there is still the sack that he himself used for candle repairs. In 1977 the Neptune One was finally released, in whose name Constantin jointly honored the sea god, the head of his magazine and the English origin of the ship. The hull lines are in deep V in bow and flatten quickly as they move to the stern. Around the quilla the lines are very flat and then round again towards the stern, which is quite narrow. The dead work shows a certain fragrance, that is to reduce the sleeve to the height of the deck. Cover whose cabin profile dissolves in bow according to the canons that became dominant until the end of the Ochenta years. The pole, of two crosses, a longer and longer than the series and the quilla, of lead, trapeizodal and deeper than the series (2.05 m. vs 1.93 m.) are the most differentiated parts, together with the increased surface helm between the Neptune One and a 35 standard Contessa and show Malinovski's preferences in the subject of fast ships. The construction, with the use of isoftalic polyester resin (then all a novelty) is very robust, with reinforcements of vagras, varengas and laminated palm trees directly to the hull and without use of contramoldes. The Neptune One is therefore a true ocean cruise-gathering ready for any voyage to be offered. Naturally, he was the protagonist of a cover of Neptune Nautisme magazine. Once Henri de Constantin took the pleasure of arriving three times (in 1978, 1979 and 1983) ahead of the Palynodie in real time, he continued to use the boat on cruises and regattas, like the Marseille Sidi Bou Said of 1979, until in 1992 he sold the boat to the second and current owner. This, a former French submarine officer, sailed solo at the beginning in the seas of Britain, Ireland and England, arriving twice to the Azores. In 2010, after a long cruise that takes you from the Baltic, to Norway, North Sea and Azores, crosses the Strait of Gibraltar to reach its current base of Barcelona, from where it fulfills several Mediterranean cruises. Today, he continues to sail in the Neptune One, but over eighty years he considers that the ship requires a younger shipowner who knows how to navigate and appreciate the robustness, austerity and spartanity of an ocean ship without compromise, with a lot of history and excellent conditions.
