1997 Contest 60

The Contest 60 is a fiberglass sailing yacht built in 1997 to Lloyd's specifications, designed as a capable blue water cruiser. At 60 feet in length with a 16-foot beam, she combines robust construction with thoughtful systems engineering. The boat was originally configured for two-person ocean cruising and remains well-suited to managing long passages with a small crew or even a single operator.

The current owner has upgraded the boat with redundancy across key systems, including autopilot, navigation equipment, and solar installations. These improvements enhance self-sufficiency and reduce dependency on external support during extended voyages. The sheltered cockpit layout contributes to crew safety and comfort during heavy weather and extended time at sea.

The yacht is equipped with top-tier gear and has been maintained with attention to the demands of ocean voyaging. Her design and specification reflect the practical requirements of blue water sailing, making her suitable for both coastal cruising and offshore passages.
