.A stand out boat in so many ways, the Contest 52MC is a spectacularly successful design. And in this version there’s even more for the press to love. Her looks astounding with perfect design balance that, also in terms of handling, retains the same innovative, half-planing hull riding as though on rails, tracking straight and staying flat right through the tightest of turns. With her two 600hp diesels she’s equally comfortable at 8 or 28 knots, and soft rides through the nastiest chop. And she’s a dry boat, her pronounced spray rails cascading the breaking water away. The joint creation of longstanding design partner Georg Nissen, the well known boat engineering and designer company Vripack and the yard’s own in-house design team, the 52MC is also an unusually versatile performance platform. Among her extensive equipment list are: heating, generator, bow- & stern thruster, gyro stabilizer and much more.
