The Contest 50CS exterior represents the latest in Contest’s design innovations, incorporating sleek, modern lines and practical, sailor-friendly solutions. With a refined, low-profile coach roof, the yacht’s aesthetics are as advanced as its functionality. The coach roof sweeps seamlessly into the aft, where the deep, two-section cockpit offers both comfort and protection, with coaming boards around the helm stations to deflect spray and ensure security at sea.

Twin helm stations with protective coamings allow for safe and effortless navigation, with a walkthrough passage providing easy access throughout the cockpit area. All primary winches, lines, and sheets are thoughtfully positioned for easy handling, whether by a single operator or a small crew. Equipped with an A-frame and hydraulic furling system, the 50CS ensures that raising and adjusting asymmetric sails is straightforward and efficient.

The deck is laid out with safety and practicality in mind: tall guardrails and numerous grab points are intuitively placed, making it easy for guests, even those less experienced with sailing, to move about confidently. Additionally, the flush deck design provides ample space and aesthetic appeal, while the optional synthetic teak decking ensures a durable, low-maintenance surface that stays cool underfoot.

The yacht’s hydraulic transom folds down to create a generous bathing platform, providing direct water access and a convenient space for launching and retrieving the tender, which is stored in the dedicated tender garage. This setup removes the need for bulky davits on deck, preserving both the yacht’s clean lines and deck space.
