Description

Centre cockpit blue water cruiser

The Contest 40S was designed to maintain high speeds in all conditions, she is finer and lower than her predecessors, however she is still spacious below. In-fact she caters for life on-board with plenty of stowage and a large and comfortable aft cabin, with en-suite heads, and a guest suite forward. The galley is large but secure, and the well-proportioned chart table will cope well with ocean passage-planning. CONSTANTIA is reluctantly for sale due to health reasons, and she is a credit to her owners who have cared for her lovingly. She is well equipped and ready to be out on the water!
