1984 Contest Blue Water Cruising Ketch

This 1984 Contest Blue Water Cruising Ketch is a 48-foot fiberglass sailing yacht built for serious offshore passage-making. The ketch rig provides versatility and balance in a range of conditions, with a Beta Marine diesel engine providing auxiliary power. The boat's design and construction reflect Contest's reputation for robust blue water cruising yachts capable of extended ocean voyages.

The interior layout includes three cabins, providing accommodation for a cruising family or small group. The design prioritizes seaworthiness and livability for long-term passage-making rather than high-volume accommodations.

The yacht has undergone consistent maintenance throughout her life. Systems and equipment have been kept in working order and the boat is ready for extended cruising.
