Contest 33
11 / 29 - score 58%
The Contest 33 is a 32.25ft masthead sloop designed by U. Van Essen/Dick Zaal and built in fiberglass by Contest Yachts - Conyplex between 1970 and 1975.
188 units have been built.
The Contest 33 is a moderate weight sailboat which is 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.
