42CS

EXCEPTIONAL The Contest 42CS is the smallest range-model, yet from the get-go conceived and constructed to the very same high production and sailing values of the larger yachts in the Contest line. At this length exceptional, and as such the exact same expression of the expert jury of top European yachting editors. Altogether, and with a remarkable choice of cabin, deck and rig arrangements, this makes the up to 6+2 berth Contest 42CS fully capable of safe, comfortable and fast ocean passaging while also offering perfect coastal hopping and bay outings for younger families or couples simply vacationing. On deck, choice begins with short-handed or performance versions, with single point central winch system for the mainsheet or coachroof traveller. Spars can be aluminium or carbon and mainsail reefing in-mast, in-boom or lazy-jack slab. Winches can be fully electric and push-button control continues through the lowering transom bathing platform to the eased bow anchoring. Smart design featuring has aft-led sheets, halyards and vang channelled invisibly back to the cockpit through mullions in the coachroof glazing for uncluttered clear decks and safe handling. And just as you’ll find below, the feel on top is of a boat surely bigger than declared size
