Used Contest 28 Sailboats for Sale

The Contest 28, a compact yet capable masthead sloop, embodies the early philosophy of its Dutch builder, Conyplex (now Contest Yachts), delivering robust construction and respectable sailing performance in a package suitable for coastal cruising and weekend adventures. Designed by the renowned naval architect Dick Zaal, this model was produced from 1976 to 1981, with approximately 121 units gracing the waters. It represents an era when Contest was building a strong reputation for fiberglass yachts that prioritized quality and sailing experience, a heritage that continues with their luxury semi-custom vessels today.
