The Contest 32 cs is a heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a short water supply range.
This boat has a reasonable score and ranks in the top half. It is a good choice.
