The boat is ketch rigged which has the great advantage that one can reef in smaller steps and the clotch is much easier to handle than a larger sail. The sails were renewed (see specs). In the cockpit you find good shelter behind the fixed windows. Setting and reefing sail is done at the mast. The interior is beautifully finished with mahogany and has a nice nautical atmosphere. It is striking how tidy the boat still is, even after many years of sailing. Upon entering the galley is left. Right is the navigation table with the necessary equipment. Amidships is the salon with sofas around, and a large folding table in the middle. The cushions are of good quality. Both in the bow and in the aft are doubles. For the main bulkhead left the toilet, and left large closets. The Contest 38 S is a suitable yacht for long stay on board and blue water cruising. The boat that we offer is fully ready to go.
