Overview
ANNAPOLIS BOAT SHOW SPECIAL. BEST VALUE ON THE MARKET FOR A PROVE BLUEWATER PERFORMER. $49,500.00
The Dutch have been building safe, secure, seagoing vessels for decades and the Contest 36S is a fine example of that trait. The Contest 36S is a substantial, aft-cockpit cruising yacht with high topsides and semi-flush decks that keep you safe and dry above while making for ample living space below.
Odoya has spent the past four years cruising the East Coast, the Bahamas and throughout the Caribbean. She's been outfitted and updated for cruising and living aboard so she's ready to take you wherever you want to go. Odoya is reliable, her maintenance is up to date and she is very well equipped.
Exceptional Dutch Craftsmanship in a Serious Cruising Yacht
The Contest 36S was designed by Dick Zaal and built by Conyplex B.V. of Holland to combine the performance of a racer with the comfort required by cruisers and liveaboards. There's the 7/8 fractional rig for performance, the wing keel for shallow draft, good headroom and space for livability below and, in the case of Odoya, NO teak decks ever.
And since Odoya has been cruising for the past four years, she's had all the upgrades and additions needed to make cruising fun, fast and comfortable. In recent years she's received:
- NEW engine
- NEW standing and running rigging
- NEW steering
- NEW refrigeration
- NEW batteries
- NEW spinnaker
- NEW roller furler
- NEW watermaker
- NEW windlass
- NEW life raft
About all you'd need to go cruising yourself is you...and whatever else you want to take along. If you're serious about sailing away, you owe it to yourself to check out this exceptionally well-built cruising yacht.
