building dreams together
50CS
Together, we make boating ambitions a reality… so you can embrace your own personal dream.
Working closely with owners, every single Contest yacht, both motor and sail, is designed and detailed to match individual desires. And together, we begin with meticulous preparation involving specialists and suppliers for every aspect and element.
Founded in 1959, and with the stability of the third generation of the same boatbuilding family, we run our shipyard in Medemblik in the Netherlands with a highly skilled team of accomplished, caring craftsmen to hand-build extensively personalised yachts. And all our yachts are properly Lloyd's Register certified.
A Contest yacht brings pride in performance and confidence in the roughest of conditions. Together, the ideal combination.
So, the all-new 15-metre Contest 50CS with latest dual centre cockpit arrangement and integrated bathing stairway set into the stern now presents yet another perfect expression of building dreams together.

IT ALL BEGAN 60 AND MORE YEARS AGO
Our yachts are, of course, very different to those of six decades ago but the founding principles of finely built craft, perfectly set for purpose, still guide all that we do.
The nine-model Contest range of performance bluewater sailing yachts spanning 42ft to 85ft (13m to 26m) suits all activities from club sailing and offshore cruising to world circling.
Our construction is to the highest Dutch standards with each yacht combining hand-finished craftsmanship with modern technologies, including five-axis CNC cutting, vacuum resin infusion of cored composite hulls, and teak-alternative topped decks.
Combined, this assures accuracy, consistency and optimised integrity for a stronger, lighter, more durable yacht. And every yacht leaving this family-owned yard does so with the valued endorsement of full Lloyd's certification.
That’s good for safety, longevity and residual values - together, that means peace of mind.
