Jeremy Rogers Ltd

General information

We are a fully equipped boat yard and manufacturer in the heart of Lymington. 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 size 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.
