85cs

The 26-metre Contest 85CS is the pinnacle of the Contest Yachts range and demonstrates the strengths in Contest's long-term collaboration with world class naval architects Judel/Vrolijk and interior designers Wetzels Brown & Partners.

From push button control to the spacious cockpit, expansive saloon, comfortable cabins and the efficient and functional technical spaces, the Contest 85CS is designed for fast passage making with powerful, practical, deep-ocean cruising capability. Easily managed and maintained by a short-handed crew and perfectly set up to sail round the world, the Contest 85CS is also equally suitable to enjoy the social side of sailing.
