4 / 12 - score 53%
The Contest 55cs is a 54.95ft cutter designed by Georg Nissen and built in fiberglass by Contest Yachts - Conyplex between 1998 and 2011.
26 units have been built.
The Contest 55cs is a moderate weight sailboat which is a 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 excellent. There is an excellent water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
