Overview

2007 Contest Yachts 45CS - this is a fantastic example of these well-founded and very capable ocean-going yachts. In her second ownership since new, 'Fly' has been well maintained and offers exceptional features for those looking to cruise in comfort. Laid out with two cabins, the aft master is generously proportioned with a large bed and en-suite heads, and the forward cabin is also well-sized. These are separated by the spacious saloon with a large dining area, dedicated navigation station and access to the well-equipped galley. Rigged with in-mast furling, there is a good sail wardrobe. Other inventory highlights include Yanmar engine, generator, Raymarine electronics, heating, water maker and coppercoat to the hull. This is an excellent all-around package for bluewater cruising or stately local sailing.

Broker Comments

Contest yachts are a well established Dutch builder with an impressive history back to the late 1950s. The 45CS ably demonstrates the quality and performance of the brand. The centre cockpit design with wheel steering creates a very safe and secure position for sailing and allows the generous aft master cabin to fill the stern section. As an early adopter of hull resin infusion they marry technological innovation with classic craftmanship creating a refined modernity. The 45CS is well laid out with ample room for four but set up with in-mast furling allows a couple to easily handle the sails if short handed cruising is preferred. All round this is a yacht that embodies comfortable, enjoyable sailing whether it be coastal, offshore or bluewater adventures.
