Contest 62CS Sailboats for Sale

The Contest 62CS represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of the Dutch yard Conyplex, bridging the gap between traditional semicustom cruising and the modern "superyacht" standard of finish. Designed by Georg Nissen with interiors by Birgit Schnaase, this 62foot (19meter) bluewater cruiser was engineered to be managed by a couple while offering the volume and performance typically associated with crewed vessels. Launched in 2008, the 62CS replaced the earlier Contest 60 and paved the architectural way for the larger 67CS and 72CS. Built using the shipyard’s proprietary "One Shot" vacuum infusion process, the hull is a sandwich construction that ensures high structural rigidity and thermal insulation—critical for the longrange offshore passages the boat was intended for. According to the official Contest Yachts history, this model exemplifies the brand’s transition toward sleek, lowprofile coachroofs and flush foredecks, moving away from the more boxy centercockpit silhouettes of the 1990s.
