Contest 42CS

A proud winner of the European Yacht of the Year, the 13-metre Contest 42CS has been described as stylish, elegant, and the bluewater Stradivarius, by the world’s leading yachting media.

This aft-cockpit yacht is as much about quality and comfort as performance and design. The smallest range-model, the Contest 42CS is constructed to the same high production and sailing values of the larger yachts in the Contest line, carrying her Lloyds A1 build certification with pride. Her design marries the very best in modern boat-building techniques with timeless elegance, quality materials and luxury ergonomics. The result is a modern performance bluewater cruiser with exceptional seakeeping abilities and unrivalled build quality.

A remarkable choice of cabin (up to 6+2 berth) and deck and rig arrangements makes the Contest 42CS fully capable of safe, comfortable and fast ocean passaging while also offering perfect coastal cursing and day sailing for younger families or couples...
