Contest 48CS

.

A luxury and comfortable blue-water cruiser, excellently maintained, well equipped, and ready for her next owner. Her teak deck was completely refurbished and sanded in 2021, and with recent sails, she is in great condition. The classic teak interior offers 6 + 1 sleeping places in three cabins, two toilets, two showers, and a well-equipped galley with modern appliances, heating/AC, bow thruster, and a generator (2018).

Since 2023, the current owner has invested over €150,000 in upgrades, including new navigation equipment, renewed standing and running rigging, repainted mast and boom, major service to the engine, and maintained hydraulics. With hydraulic roller systems, electric genoa winches, and a repainted hull (2009), she is easy to handle, beautifully presented, and ready for her next journey!
