Very solid construction (designed for the high seas).
Good balance and reassuring maritime behavior, especially appreciated on offshore cruising.
Ketch rigging facilitating sail reduction and long passages.

It is a classic cruising sailboat, highly sought after by lovers of durable and seaworthy boats.

I am selling my CONTEST 36 KETCH 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 passionate amateurs and DIY enthusiasts.
The central cockpit is comfortable and secure for navigation.
I do not have a detailed inventory or appraisal for my boat, but it comes with a complete set of sails in good condition, a nice dodger, and winches.
A Raymarine autopilot with repeaters ST 6002,
A depth sounder, an electric vertical windlass QUICK,
An inflatable dinghy, an inboard VOLVO PENTA engine of about 39 hp that works!

The boat is viewable in Lézardrieux, dry stored at the ARMOR PLAISANCE shipyard.
To negotiate directly with Thierry or Erwan.

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