Exterior and interior design
This model is referred to at the shipyard as none other than «55 feet of beauty».
In terms of design, the Contest 55CS takes a lot from her older sisters, the 26m Contest 85CS and the 21m Contest 67CS. The superstructure roof flows smoothly into the spacious cockpit with two steering wheels. And inside, despite its modest size, this boat offers superyacht-level comfort and quality finishes. At the same time, the Contest 55CS remains a practical and seaworthy bluewater cruiser.
Thanks to a wide range of options this model is a true chameleon, which depending on the wishes of the future owner is he either tender or sloop, with a carbon or aluminum spars, with in-mast furling mainsail or traditional system grooving. The layout of the staterooms can also be customized.
The Contest 55CS designers tried to make her as roomy as possible, but they didn't forget about safety. Ergonomic handrails and ledges on the furniture are available to grasp the yacht in case of a rocking motion.
Onboard comforts
The increased number of portholes and the skylights in all three cabins and the saloon ensure that guests don't suffer from a lack of natural light. When the sun disappears, a designer lighting system replaces it until morning.
Features
The hull of the Lloyd's certified sailboat has carbon fibre reinforcements. This gives the boat good handling, lightweight yet strong.
The aft master stateroom provides panoramic views of the sea during anchorages - simply lower the hydraulic door of the tender garage which becomes a bathing platform.
Sailing region
On Contest 55CS you can go even to the circumnavigation.
«A variety of options will allow you to sail the boat anywhere and anytime and with the same pleasure where you want to stay at anchor. Safe, spacious and livable in all waters under all conditions - this is the Contest 55CS», the shipyard says.
