Contest 31 ht
12 / 38 - score 56%
The Contest 31 ht is a 31.17ft masthead sloop designed by Dick Zaal and built in fiberglass by Contest Yachts - Conyplex between 1972 and 1983.
252 units have been built.
The Contest 31 ht is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a short water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
