Highlights of the Contest 36 Ketch
Very solid construction (designed for blue water sailing).
Good balance and reassuring sea behavior, especially appreciated during offshore cruising.
Ketch rigging facilitates sail reduction and long passages.
Interior made of quality wood, spacious and well designed for its time.
Reputation as a reliable ocean-going vessel: many units have completed long voyages (transatlantics, circumnavigations).

It is a classic cruising yacht, highly sought after by enthusiasts of sturdy and seaworthy boats.

I am selling my CONTEST 36 KETCH because I now spend more time in French Polynesia than in Brittany.
It bears serial number: 20.
It is a boat needing updating for passionate amateurs and DIY enthusiasts.
The central cockpit is pleasant and secure for navigation.
I do not have a detailed inventory or marine survey for my yacht, but it has a full set of sails in good used condition, a nice cockpit cover, and sprayhoods.
A Raymarine autopilot with ST 6002 repeater,
A depth sounder, an electric vertical windlass QUICK,
A inflatable dinghy, and an inboard VOLVO PENTA engine of about 39 hp that works!

The boat is viewable in Lezardrieux in dry dock at the ARMOR PLAISANCE shipyard.
Negotiable directly with Thierry or Erwan.

The sails and cushions are not on board and are stored elsewhere in dry storage.
The life raft needs replacing, and safety equipment should be updated.

PRICE NEGOTIABLE...!
The boat is available out of the water at the ARMOR PLAISANCE marina in Lezardrieux; offers to be made after viewing.
