The Contest 41 represents a pivotal chapter in the evolution of the Conijn family’s shipyard, Conyplex. Launched in the mid-1980s 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 sandwich-constructed deck, often finished with the brand’s signature vacuum-bonded teak.
