Contest 55CS

When the strikingly good-looking Contest 55CS hit the market, it turned out to be a 55-footer that changed everything. Refined elegance with potential everywhere and always. A true home away from home, wherever you are. This European Yacht of the Year award-winning, 17-meter Contest 55CS fully combines our years of reputation as a top-of-the-line bluewater performance builder, fitting the increasingly time-limited lifestyle of today. "Boreas" is ready to depart and set to begin new journeys from her berth in Medemblik, where she will be stored in our heated sales facility. Designed and set up for easy handling, she can be sailed shorthanded, featuring push-button operated sails, a powerful engine, a bow thruster, and a remotely operated anchor chain at the helm. Built without compromising on comfort, she has plenty of storage space, a climate-controlled interior, a large galley with a dishwasher, etc.
