Contest 42s
8 / 55 - score 58%
The Contest 42s is a 41.17ft masthead sloop designed by Dick Zaal and built in fiberglass by Contest Yachts - Conyplex between 1998 and 2002.
9 units have been built.
The Contest 42s is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is average. There is a good 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.
