The Contest 49 CS emerges as a contemporary bluewater cruising yacht, blending luxurious accommodations with a robust, performance-oriented design. Launched in 2022 by the esteemed Dutch builder Contest Yachts, she embodies the shipyard's commitment to crafting semi-custom vessels for discerning sailors embarking on offshore voyages and long-distance cruising. Designed with a distinct aft cockpit layout, the 49 CS shares its high-performance hull with its center-cockpit sibling, the Contest 50 CS-2, offering owners a choice in deck configurations without compromising on seakeeping ability.
