Contest 30
8 / 41 - score 56%
The Contest 30 is a 30.0ft masthead sloop designed by Dick Zaal and built in fiberglass by Contest Yachts - Conyplex between 1974 and 1978.
80 units have been built.
The Contest 30 is a moderate weight sailboat which is under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
