Contest 36
8 / 34 - score 57%
The Contest 36 is a 35.92ft masthead sloop designed by Dick Zaal and built in fiberglass by Contest Yachts - Conyplex between 1974 and 1981.
90 units have been built.
The Contest 36 is a heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is stable / stiff and has an excellent 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 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.
