Very solid construction (designed for offshore sailing).
Good balance and secure sea behavior, particularly appreciated in bluewater cruising.
Ketch rig facilitating sail reduction and long passages.

It is a classic bluewater cruising sailboat, highly sought after by enthusiasts of robust and seaworthy boats.

I am selling my KETCH CONTEST 36 because I now spend more time in French Polynesia than in Brittany.
It bears the serial number: 20
It is a boat to be updated for a passionate and handy amateur.
The central cockpit is comfortable and secure for sailing.
I do not have a precise inventory, but there is a complete set of sails in usable condition!
A Raymarine ST 6002 autopilot repeater
A depth sounder, a QUICK vertical electric windlass
An inflatable dinghy, a Volvo Penta inboard engine of 36 hp which is running.

The boat can be seen in Lézardrieux on dry land at ARMOR PLAISANCE shipyard.
Negotiations directly with Thierry or Erwan.

There is no precise inventory or recent survey for this secondhand sailboat.
The sails, cushions are not on board and are stored elsewhere dry.
The life raft needs replacing, the safety equipment is outdated and will need renewal.
