Description

Centre cockpit blue water cruiser

This Contest 40/42S is a joy to look at with her Burgondy Red hull (spraypainted in 2014). The yacht is very well kept and many items have been renwed (navigation equipment, upholstery, line etc.. Due to comfortable sailing performance and high equipment level she is easy to handle with two persons. Her spacious interior in teak style provides great comfort and sleeps 4 in both cabins and 2 in saloon. If you are looking for a high quality yacht with many upgrades, this is the yacht you should come and visit. Now available at the Contest yard in Medemblik. More pictures will follow soon.
