The Contest 57CS represents a pivotal evolution in the Dutch builder’s lineage, serving as the bridge between owneroperated cruisers and the superyachtlevel sophistication of their larger custom builds. Designed by Georg Nissen with an interior vision by Birgit Schnaase, this 57foot centercockpit sloop was engineered to provide a highdisplacement, bluewater platform capable of crossing oceans with a shorthanded crew. Unlike lighter production boats, the 57CS utilizes a vacuuminfused sandwich construction for the hull and deck, a technique that Contest Yachts prides itself on for achieving a high strengthtoweight ratio while maintaining the structural rigidity required for heavy weather. The yacht was developed to succeed the popular 55CS, offering significantly more volume and a more aggressive, modern profile characterized by its signature flush foredeck and integrated panoramic coachroof windows.
