DESIGNER TALK

Helping shape the dreams we build together, our design partners judel/vrolijk & co and Wetzels Brown Partners draw on long and strong experience in engineering, architecture and creativity. Together in the Contest 67CS they have again advanced the pleasures of performance with personal comforts aboard - all of course in impeccable style.

“IMPORTANTLY WE VERY MUCH BUY INTO THE MINDSET OF PUTTING SMILES ON FACES. THE CONTEST 67CS DOES THIS WELL.”

OUTSIDE AND IN

Rolf Vrolijk of judel/vrolijk & co says, “In our work we have a very similar approach to Contest Yachts - the same vision of a future of high performance, semi-custom, luxury cruising yachts. Contest is also one of very few companies genuinely looking to fulfil peoples' dreams. Our boats have to have a distinct character of their own, and importantly we also very much buy into the mindset of putting smiles on the faces of people who see them. The Contest 67CS does this well with such a sleek and kind-to-the-eye profile, both above and below waterline, and under a tall yet easily managed rig that has the boat sailing fast in all conditions, and with low angle of heel. This is so important when looking to comfort as well as peace and pace on a long passage."

“CONTEST SO PERFECTLY MEETS THE CURRENT MOOD. IT’S A TRUE PLEASURE TO DESIGN AND STYLE FOR THIS NEW MIXED USE.”

INSIDE AND OUT

Gillian Brown of Wetzels Brown Partners says, "Contest Yachts so perfectly meet the current mood with such good balance between style, performance and safe, secure comfort. And It's always interesting seeing just how much interior space the Contest designers and naval architects achieve. For me as interior designer this creates so much opportunity to arrive at the exact right personalisation for each new owner.

The Contest 67CS is a fine example of this, with a really diverse design folio ranging from cosy jazz bar to light and bright Mediterranean theme. Always evolving, it's a pleasure to work with the individual owner, turning potential possibilities into practical delivery. And with this Contest 67CS there are so many options from swapping the fore and aft cabin arrangements through to the tiniest, fitted detailing."

"WE CALL IT BUILDING DREAMS TOGETHER."

THE PERSONAL TOUCH

Arjen Conijn, third generation CEO of this family owned shipyard and innovator, says, “While some semi-custom builders are striving to standardise their yachts, we at Contest Yachts are different.

"We show that the best way to help owners set out on their own personal voyage is to deliver exactly what they want, individually.

"That’s what we do. We always have. We call it building dreams together. And as you might see from these pages, the Contest 67CS could be the dream you know you want!”
