The Contest 45 CS represents a pivotal era for the Dutch builder Conyplex, marking a transition toward more contemporary, sleek aesthetics while maintaining the brand's uncompromising commitment to blue-water integrity. Launched in the early 2000s as a successor to the legendary Contest 44, the 45 CS was designed by Georg Nissen with an interior vision by Birgit Schnaase. It stands as a "category A" ocean voyager, notable for its vacuum-infused hull construction—a technique Contest Yachts helped pioneer to achieve a superior strength-to-weight ratio. Unlike its predecessors, the 45 CS features a more streamlined coachroof and flush-mounted deck hatches, signaling a move toward the modern "Sport" styling that would eventually define the current Contest fleet.
