The Contest 50CS represents a pivotal evolution for the Dutch builder, signaling a modernization of the traditional centercockpit bluewater cruiser. Designed by the renowned naval architecture firm Judel/Vrolijk & co, this 50foot performance cruiser was introduced to bridge the gap between the brand’s highly successful 42CS and the larger 55CS. It is constructed using the builder’s signature vacuuminfusion process, which ensures a high glasstoresin ratio and superior structural integrity. According to the Contest Yachts official 50CS specifications, the hull features a foamcore sandwich construction with carbon fiber reinforcements in highload areas, such as the keel frame and chainplate attachments. This model serves as a benchmark for the "modernclassic" aesthetic, combining a lowprofile coachroof and flush decks with the safety and interior volume afforded by a centercockpit configuration.
