Description

Well known blue water cruiser with centre cockpit

Confiance is well maintained Contest 40S. She is well known for her combination of comfort, safety and sea going capacities. With her flush deck and dark blue hull she is a classic eye catcher. She comes with all the comfort one may expect from a yacht like this. Amongst her list of option are, renewed navigation equipment, renewed heating system and new batteries. Because her current owner still uses her every now and then, she is in turn key condition. A viewing of this yacht is strongly recommended.
