DESIGNER TALK

Helping shape the dreams we build together, our design collaborators judel/vrolijk & co and Wetzels Brown Partners draw on long and strong experience in engineering, architecture and creativity. Together in the Contest 72CS they have again advanced the pleasures of performance with personal comforts aboard – and all of course in impeccable style.

“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, "By the time of the launch of designs for the Contest 72CS, Arjen [Contest Yachts CEO] and I had been talking together for years, waiting for the right time to synthesise the Contest quality template with a contemporary new look that would redefine the Contest of the future. And the Contest 72CS was the one! Paving the way, this was the first yacht in which we preserved and enhanced 'traditional' Contest details such as the curves, the exquisite joinery and soft edging, while adding modern options in different wood types, padded panels, leather touches and so on. Our goal was to ensure the design supports the owner’s lifestyle, while at the same time creating a unified image for the Contest family."

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. Again in this new model launch 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 72CS could be the dream you know you want. Make it yours!”
