The Contest 37 (1996) is a well-built and well-maintained sailing yacht from the renowned Dutch yard Contest Yachts, known for its seaworthiness and solid craftsmanship. She is equipped with a bow thruster, a sail set partially renewed in 2019, and all lines led to the cockpit, making her easy to handle, even single-handed. Combining reliable performance, a thoughtful layout, and comfortable sailing characteristics, she is ideal for both long-distance cruising and relaxed coastal trips.
