IMPRESSIONS

The fresh interior extends the line’s styling with signature touches including many of the finer points of the larger Contest yachts.

And the semi-customisation of individual examples has seen the incorporation of a full-size bathtub in place of the portside guest cabin, and in the forecabin a hidden big-screen TV folding down from within the deckhead. Versatile, adaptable and with Lloyd’s certified construction, there’s no limit to where the Contest 59CS can truly enjoy performance bluewater adventuring or equally simple, local sailing and lazing. The itinerary is open and the world awaits!

SPECIFICATION IS PERSONAL

With Contest it's as easy to choose how you want your yacht fitted as it is filling the herb rack with the right flavours to spice up life!

Throughout, the sense of openness is instant. Yet equally evident is Contest's hallmark sea safety with the many handrails plus clever hand-holding lips to cabinetry, all ergonomic in use. The joinery and its finish is to the yard's always exceptionally high standards, as are the soft furnishings and architectural hardware, with all this, of course, adjusted to individual owners' tastes and needs. And, again, underwriting that, there are many varied cabin plan options for the personal best match. That's the Contest way. The industry catchphrases this as semi-custom construction. It's all part of building dreams together… and every sailor has a different dream.

RELIABILITY IS IN-BUILT ... SO TOO IS YOUR SECURITY

On deck you’ll see the craftsmanship in the sculptural shaping and polished welds of the sturdy stainless steel railings. You’ll enjoy the beautiful shaping of the composite mouldings perhaps unaware of the complexity in creating such contours. Below in the well thought layout it’s everywhere you turn, in the seamless grain-matched joinery, the hand stitching of turned corners for the settee cushions.

And then there's what is actually in and under those cushions to maximise comfort and durability. Less glamorous, but no less important in this practice, are the boat’s hidden systems, the electrics and electronics, pumps, engine, generator, complex hydraulics. All installed with pre-planned care, minimising noise and vibration, all clearly routed, labelled, sited for optimised access.

Conforming with strict international classification standards, equipment is invariably highly specified. The list runs on and on. Ampage sufficient to run all apparatus simultaneously. Fuel and water tankage to support distant voyaging. So, with Contest Yachts it’s not just what you see that counts. What you don’t see is equally significant. We go the extra mile to make sure you can, too.

So, keep looking at the Contest 59CS, there’s so much more to this yacht than mind and eye first see.
