Highlights of the Contest 36 Ketch
Very solid construction (designed for the high seas).
Good stability and safe sailing behavior, particularly appreciated for offshore cruising.
Ketch rigging facilitating sail reduction and long crossings.
Quality wood interiors, spacious and well thought out for the period.
Reputation as a reliable ocean-going vessel: many units have completed major voyages (transats, circumnavigations).
This is a classic large cruising yacht, highly sought after by enthusiasts of sturdy and seaworthy boats.
I am selling my CONTEST 36 KETCH because I now spend more time in French Polynesia than in Brittany.
It bears serial number: 20
It is a boat that needs updating for passionate amateurs and DIY enthusiasts.
The central cockpit is pleasant and safe for sailing.
I do not have a detailed inventory or technical expertise for my yacht, but it has a complete sailing set in good used condition, a nice canvas cover, and sprayhoods.
A Raymarine autopilot with ST 6002 repeater,
A depth sounder, an electric vertical windlass QUICK,
An inflatable dinghy, a VOLVO PENTA inboard engine of about 39 hp that works!
The boat is viewable in Lézardrieux dry-stored at the ARMOR PLAISANCE yard.
Negotiable directly with Thierry or Erwan.
The sails and cushions are not on board and are stored elsewhere, dry.
The life raft needs replacing, and the safety equipment must be updated.
