The Contest 25-2, often referred to as the Contest 25 Mark II, represents a significant evolutionary step for the Dutch shipyard Conyplex. While the original 1959 Contest 25 was the vessel that established the brand's international reputation, the 25-2 was a comprehensive redesign introduced in the early 1970s to modernize the fleet. Commissioned by Fritz Conijn and designed by the prolific naval architect Dick Zaal, the 25-2 was intended to provide a more voluminous, sea-kindly alternative to the racer-cruiser aesthetics of the previous decade. Built with the same "over-engineered" philosophy that defines the Contest Yachts Heritage, this model remains a staple of North Sea coastal cruising, prized for its robust construction and high ballast ratio.
