The Contest 36 Ketch represents a pivotal era for Conyplex, designed by the legendary Dutch architect Dick Zaal during the mid1970s. Produced between 1974 and 1981, this model was the embodiment of the builder’s transition into highend, semicustom bluewater cruisers. Unlike the lighter, performanceoriented European yachts of the same length, the Contest 36 was engineered with a "goanywhere" philosophy, characterized by a heavy displacement hull and a safe, centercockpit layout. Approximately 90 units were built, many of which were exported to the United States and Northern Europe, earning a reputation for exceptional build quality that often draws comparisons to HallbergRassy and Najad.
