Contest 67CS

The newest in the fleet, now in build and set to debut launch in 2016, the Contest 67CS marks the first steps in a fresh, long term collaboration with German design team judel/vrolijk & co, renowned for powerful yachts, both racing and cruising, offshore and ocean. That combined experience results in easily driven, sea kindly, handsome yachts, which neatly defines our new bluewater performance cruiser, the Contest 67CS.

“We are delighted to start this ground breaking relationship with a design that offers owners maximum sailing pleasure and cruising comfort,” Rolf Vrolijk explains. “Performance is always a must for our designs and the Contest 67CS is no exception.”

This way hull lines have been refreshed, newly optimised for moderate displacement cruising with sharper forward sections for enhanced upwind performance, combined with slightly wider, flatter aft sections for more stability and improved downwind characteristics, so assisting autopilot ocean passage. Weight is lower for boat speed and CoG and a new L-shaped keel contributes on all points.

Interior/Exterior

exterior

Evovled styling retains a timeless low deckhouse profile with a generous sailplan on a rig which offers a variety of sail combinations with code sail options flying from integral bowsprit, and with in-mast or boom furling for mainsail. The soft chine aft is new, as is, for this size of Contest, a central cockpit winch between the twin helm stations for main sheet control. Long horizontal hull windows provide a visual balance for tall topsides that create in the interior good headroom and underfloor space for technical equipment.

interior

The interior plan is based around three double suites, with a fourth bunked cabin, in a variety of conformations and a choice of two galley arrangements, corridor or u-shaped. Among the differences with the latter, an already very sizeable master suite aft is further enlarged with even more space given to bathroom and wardrobes. Below floor technical space is considerable and noise and vibration experts Van Capellen are involved in design engineering quietness into the accommodation. Interior design is by wetzels brown partners and open to full owner personalisation.
