Broker's comments

With the heritage of the famous Contest yard for over six decades, it is not a surprise these high quality blue water cruising yachts are well respected and in high demand. With the likes of Oyster, Hallberg Rassy, Najad and alike, you will discover the Contest 50CS wanting to experience the beauty, sporty character and finesse of this true blue water cruising yacht. Her current owner had her fitted out for a circumnavigation but unfortunately plans have changed. She is not a yacht for a weekend cruise but certainly for exploring the world’s oceans and far-away destinations. Lying Netherlands.
