Tailor made

Commissioned by an owner with very particular views on safety systems and interior arrangements after significant deep ocean experience, Contest 85CS #1 shines a light on the extreme individuality that this level of semi-construction enables.

With such well practised collaboration between Contest Yachts, Holland’s leading semi-custom yacht constructor, judel/vrolijk & co, Germany’s leading naval architects, and eminent Dutch interior designers Wetzels Brown Partners, the yacht shows so well the best of contemporary seagoing design, optimised from keel foot to masthead, outside and in. Together this delivers the perfect balance of performance bluewater cruising, tailored to the individual owner’s intentions and taste.

Constructed under the watchful eye of Lloyd’s Register, the structure of the Contest 85CS is assured of exceptionally high standards of build. Contest Yachts has long pioneered vacuum infusion moulding techniques, achieving extremely robust yet lighter weight structures. This means fast, sea kindly and easily handled sailing.
