The Contest 37, a quintessential product of the Conyplex yard in Medemblik, represents a definitive era in Dutch yacht building where the transition from serial production to semicustom craftsmanship began to take root. Designed by the esteemed Dick Zaal, the original Contest 37 was introduced in 1978 as a robust, centercockpit cruiser intended to offer more volume and seakindliness than its predecessor, the Contest 36. This model was built during a period when the yard prioritized Lloyd’s Register certification for hull construction, a testament to its "overbuilt" philosophy that continues to attract longdistance cruisers today. The 37 lineage eventually evolved into the Contest 37CS (Center Studio) in the mid1990s, also designed by Dick Zaal, which modernized the hull shape and interior aesthetics while maintaining the brand's core identity of safety and luxury.
