The Contest 32 CS represents a sophisticated chapter in the history of Conyplex (now Contest Yachts), marking an era where the Dutch builder sought to miniaturize the luxury and security of a center-cockpit blue-water cruiser into a manageable 32-foot frame. Launched in the late 1970s and designed by the prolific Dick Zaal, the 32 CS (Cruiser/Sloop or Centerboard/Sloop, though most commonly recognized for its Center Cockpit) was built to the rigorous standards of Lloyd’s Register. While most vessels of this length utilize an aft-cockpit to maximize interior volume, the 32 CS utilized a high-aspect center-cockpit design to provide an owner’s aft cabin—a rare luxury for a boat under 10 meters. This model was the "little sister" to the highly successful Contest 38 and 36, sharing their reputation for heavy-duty fiberglass layups and exquisite joinery that have allowed these vessels to endure as sought-after hulls on the pre-owned market.
