THE VERY BEST OF DUTCH FINESSE
Sleek, beautiful and a new development and replacement for our highly successful Contest 62CS, the all-new Contest 63CS brings a completely fresh, updated approach from our more recent design partners, judel/vrolijk & co and Wetzels Brown Partners.
There is a familiarity in line and looks that clearly continues the signature appeal of our latest judel/vrolijk introductions. Yet this newcomer, of a size still suited to couples' sailing or with an option for skipper's cabin, takes these again to another level. A sleek yet spacious hull with beautiful sheer, a coachroof line that sweeps into a deep and really comfortable, safe centre cockpit and the separated but connected helming and winching area aft.
With unmistakeable grace, just one glimpse shows any observer that this is real performance bluewater sailing. Just look! Then consider the detailing such as demountable bimini and dodger, stepped aft deck for safe transiting, with big tender garage below and fold-down, deep, wide transom beach platform. And above, the choice of aluminium or carbon rig with in-boom furling. Lovely!
