Very well kept yacht with spacious interior.

The Contest 40/42S ‘Harmattan’ is an excellent, solid blue water cruiser with a centre cockpit. She was built to Lloyds standards by Contest in the Netherlands in 1997 (Hull number 29). Her hull was newly sprayed in 2004 in Flag Blue (AWL grip). She has excellent teak joinery and her teak deck was fully restored in 2020. She has been very well kept and comes equipped for long distance cruising. The yacht is offered at a very competitive asking price! Preliminary brochure.
