Designed as a direct reaction against the prevailing IOR rating rules of the early 1980s, the Contrast 36 was conceived as a fast, stiff, and exceptionally wellbuilt Scandinavian cruiserracer. Rolf Magnusson, an accomplished naval architect who also designed for Albin and Scanmar, brought his deep engineering pedigree to bear on this 36foot design. Manufactured by Contrastbåtar AB in Karlstad, Sweden, and molded in the maritime hub of Smögen, the vessel was built to survive the harsh, choppy conditions of the Baltic and North Seas while offering a level of speed and responsiveness that rulebound designs of the era simply could not match. With roughly 300 hulls produced between its introduction in 1983 and the winddown of production in the early 1990s, the Contrast 36 remains a highly respected pedigree yacht in Northern Europe.
