We are delighted to introduce our new 26m flagship Contest 85CS which is now in design phase for launch in 2018.
This is our first step into the fully crewed 80+ foot sector and is made in design partnership with celebrated German naval architects judel/vrolijk & co, combining their performance design expertise with our proven, innovative construction practices completed with Lloyds’ plan approval and hull certification.
The Contest 85CS will provide for both distance cruising and regatta participation as well as very social sailing, extending the potential for performance cruising of both new and upsizing owners with comfortable capacity for up to ten guests in a customisable interior arrangement.
Carbon or aluminium, cutter rigged or removable inner stay, panelled or moulded sails, the choice of sailplan and rig is to match specific intended use.
Finished to the best, exacting standards, personalisation of the interior extends way beyond materials and styles into multiple individual cabin plans.
