Contest 28
2 / 34 - score 86%
The Contest 28 is a 27.92ft masthead sloop designed by Dick Zaal and built in fiberglass by Contest Yachts - Conyplex between 1976 and 1981.
20 units have been built.
The Contest 28 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a high performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a fast cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a very short water supply range.
This boat has a good score and ranks in the top quarter. It is an excellent choice.
