Contest 25
Description
The Contest 25, built by Contest Yachts (Conyplex) in the Netherlands, is a classic fiberglass monohull sailboat designed by G. Luyten and introduced in 1959. As the first cruising yacht from Conyplex, it marked the beginning of the company's reputation for high-quality, seaworthy cruising boats.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite.
