The Contest 60 stands as a monument to the "Dutch Lloyd’s" era of yacht construction, representing a period when Conyplex (now Contest Yachts) transitioned from highvolume production to the bespoke, semicustom luxury market. Designed primarily by Dick Zaal, the Contest 60 was the flagship of the yard during the late 1980s and early 1990s, embodying a philosophy of "overengineering" that has made it a coveted choice for circumnavigators seeking a robust, goanywhere platform. These vessels were built to withstand the rigors of the North Sea, featuring heavy handlaid fiberglass hulls and a level of joinery that defined the gold standard for European yacht building. As the predecessor to the modern "CS" (Carbon Series) line, the original 60footer remains a benchmark for the brand's commitment to safety and seakindliness.
