Contest 52MC

.

The Contest 52MC is a striking boat in many ways and a spectacularly successful design. And in this version, there is even more to love. It looks stunning with a perfect design balance that, even in terms of handling, retains the same innovative, semi-planing hull that rides as if it were on rails, tracks straight, and stays flat in the tightest turns. With its two 600hp diesels, it is equally comfortable at 8 or 28 knots, and it glides smoothly through the most annoying chop. And it is a dry boat, with its pronounced spray rails that wash away the breaking water. The 52MC is a joint creation of years-long design partner Georg Nissen, the renowned boatbuilding and design company Vripack, and the yard's own in-house design team, and it is also an unusually versatile performance platform. Among its extensive equipment list are: heating, generator, bow & stern thruster, gyro stabilizer, and much more.
