Contest 42CS - 12.80m Sailing yacht

Contest 42CS Overview

Contest 42CS is a boat, a bit unusual for a shipyard. Usually for its models the firm chose the North Sea architecture with a central, well protected cockpit and one helm in its center. But the new 42nd was an exception - the shipyard decided to try the classic layout with the aft cockpit and two handwheels, which were placed in a favorable position.
The reason for this is simple - usually relatively small yachts do not go for long distance cruises, where good cockpit protection is important, while the aft cockpit with two handwheels looks a little more spacious.
