When the Dutch shipyard Conyplex N.V. commissioned naval architect Dick Zaal in the early 1970s to design the Contest 36, the goal was to build an uncompromising offshore cruiser. Launched in 1974, the model entered a market crowded with cruiserracers born out of the International Offshore Rule era. Yet, unlike many competitors that compromised hull shapes and structural margins for racing handicaps, Conyplex and Zaal prioritized safety, longevity, and heavyweather capability. The ketchrigged variant of this 35.92foot monohull became a benchmark for midsized bluewater cruisers. Over five decades after its introduction, this classic centercockpit vessel remains a highly regarded choice for couples and singlehanded sailors looking to venture off the beaten path.
