| Broker's Comments
Designed by Dick Zaal and built in Holland, the Contest quickly earned a reputation as a sturdy, well built yacht, with excellent sea keeping qualities. The overwhelming feeling when climbing onboard is of solidity and space. A good-sized cockpit, with lots of nice wood and everything in the right place, excellent access forward via the side decks. Inside great headroom and plenty of space, a large saloon, with lots seating and an enormous table, a galley which you can actually cook in and a nav station you can actually plot in and lots of nice wood.
She’s a sociable boat and I can imagine her being sailed by an adventurous family, looking to do some longer distance passages, but equally she would provide a lot of fun, in coastal/estuary cruising. Inevitably, for a boat of her age there is work to be done, the decks need attention and the paint on the topsides is peeling, but don’t let this put you off viewing - as with attention she could be returned to her former glory.
This boat has been viewed and photographed by Chris Allan of Boatshed Essex. Register or log in to see 43 more photos of this boat. These boat details are subject to contract.
