Home of the Contessa sailing yacht and the Atlas Carbon davit range. Jeremy Rogers Ltd has been in business since 1961 when Jeremy started building boats in his back yard in his home town of Lymington. Within 10 years Jeremy's Contessa brand became one of the most successful names in the yachting world and one of the largest boat manufacturers in Britain. Production included Contessas ranging in s

ize from the traditional 26 to the Doug Peterson designed grand prix 35s, 39s and 43s, many of which were exported to a worldwide market. The most popular of all the Contessas was undoubtedly the Contessa 32, Fastnet 1979 survivor and the small blue water cruiser of choice for countless adventurous short handed and single handed sailors since then. Today, a limited number of these much-loved classics are built to order adding to the more than 650 already sailing all over the world. Contessa refurbishments are another speciality of the yard in Lymington along with repair and refurbishment of all boats. Jeremy Rogers' company has long been involved in industrial moulding and today includes in it's manufacturing profile the Atlas Carbon davit range and other bespoke carbon fibre products like passarelles and carbon lifting beams.

Meet Nick, the new owner of Persephoneia, a beautiful Contessa 32 that has recently undergone an extensive refit in our yard.

Following a fantastic trip to Falmouth, Nick is preparing to begin the next stage of his adventure this June. His plans include crossing the Bay of Biscay to A Coruña in Spain, continuing on to Lisbon and then the Canary Islands before joining the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC).

Nick has been documenting his journey aboard Persephoneia on YouTube and you can watch his recent trip here:

Built in 1968 and refurbished in 2013, this beautiful yacht is now in our yard for the next chapter of her story.

Longbow II, a 42ft wooden yacht, is currently under the expert care of Stuart, our wooden boat specialist, as we begin work to bring her back into top condition.

Take a listen as Stuart explains what he’s working on and the plans we have in store for Longbow II. ⛵️

Meet Glen!

Having joined our team as a shipwright two months ago, Glen has settled in brilliantly and got straight to work on Persephoneia (formerly Persephone). The boat has been in the yard for a substantial refit including a new engine, updated electronics and fresh standing rigging, while Glen has replaced the windows, built a new liferaft cradle and carried out a number of other repairs.

It’s been great to have Glen as part of the team and we’re looking forward to seeing more of his work in the yard. ⛵️

Looking ahead to a big week as we prepare the moulds for a brand new Contessa 32…

Dave gives us an update on the deck mould, which has made its way into the yard and is currently being modified ahead of a gelcoat and fibreglass lay-up.

It’s not a quick process, but every stage lays the foundations for a yacht built to last generations. 💙

Nora, a stunning Contessa 32, has officially left the yard after some TLC with our team.

It’s been a busy few weeks, especially for our electrician, Dan. He’s carried out a complete electrical overhaul—rewiring the vessel, installing new batteries, and fitting both a new AC system and solar setup. To top it all off, yesterday the final piece of the puzzle was placed: a brand-new engine.

She’s now fully equipped and looking better than ever. We can’t wait to see her set sail! 💙

We look forward to seeing you there! 💙

The Contessa 32 mould has made it’s way to the yard!

Some of you may have already caught in our newsletter that we’ve had a new-build customer come along, and we’re all very excited. But for those of you who missed it, there’s soon to be a new addition to the Contessa family.

Very often, these are purchases that have been a long time in the dreaming and planning, and this next new build is no exception. Our new customer lives in Germany but spends the summer in Cornwall, where he is upgrading from a Cornish Crabber. He plans to cruise locally, as well as venture out to Ireland with friends and family.

Rest assured, we’ll keep you posted on the progress! 💙
