Contest 40S

This Contest 40S is a feast for the eyes with her burgundy hull (painted in 2014). The yacht is exceptionally well-maintained and equipped with every comfort you could wish for. Thanks to her comfortable sailing characteristics and high level of equipment, she is easy to sail with two people, as well as solo. The spacious teak interior offers plenty of comfort and berths for four, with the option of two more in the saloon. If you are looking for a high-quality yacht, this is an excellent opportunity to view her.
