Contest 42
5 / 25 - score 59%
The Contest 42 is a 41.33ft masthead ketch designed by Dick Zaal and built in fiberglass by Contest Yachts - Conyplex between 1977 and 1985.
32 units have been built.
The Contest 42 is a heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is average. There is an excellent 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.
