Contest 36s
Description
The Contest 36S, built by Contest Yachts (Conyplex) in Medemblik, Netherlands, is a classic fiberglass monohull sailboat designed by Dick Zaal and produced between 1984 and 1994. Approximately 88 units were built, making it a relatively rare but well-regarded model known for its robust construction, seaworthiness, and suitability for blue water cruising. The "S" in 36S denotes a modernized design with a sleek hull, spacious interior, and enhanced performance compared to earlier Contest models like the Contest 36.
