Contest 40S

Beautiful seaworthy sailing yacht with very extensive equipment.

This ship began its life at Boot Düsseldorf, hence its very complete equipment. Built by the renowned shipyard Conyplex B.V. in Medemblik to the design of Dick Zaal, it is a ship that will feel at home on all the world's oceans. Due to the shallow wing keel, it is also very suitable for smaller waters, and the bow thruster makes the ship easy to maneuver.
