The Contest 41 represents a pivotal chapter in the evolution of the Conijn family’s shipyard, Conyplex. Launched in the mid1980s and designed by the prolific Dutch naval architect Dick Zaal, this model solidified the builder’s reputation for constructing "bulletproof" offshore cruisers. Positioned as a successor to the popular Contest 40, the 41 was designed to meet the growing demand for a yacht that could comfortably cross oceans while being manageable for a couple. Built in Medemblik, the yacht adheres to the rigorous Lloyds Register certification standards that defined the brand's output during this era. Its construction reflects a transition toward more sophisticated fiberglass techniques, featuring a solid laminate hull and a sandwichconstructed deck, often finished with the brand’s signature vacuumbonded teak.
