The Contest 46 represents a pivotal era for the Dutch shipyard Conyplex, bridging the gap between the heavy-displacement traditionalists of the 1970s and the modern, sleek performance cruisers that define the brand today. Introduced in the late 1980s and designed by Dick Zaal, the Contest 46 was engineered as a robust, center-cockpit blue-water cruiser capable of traversing oceans while providing a level of interior joinery that remains a benchmark for the industry. Built to Lloyd’s specifications, the hull is a solid laminate construction, reflecting the builder's philosophy that a yacht intended for the open sea should prioritize structural integrity over raw speed.
