Contest 55CS

Offered by her current owner, Paiqea is a true modern classic, beautifully equipped and recently upgraded. Her extensive equipment list includes a hydraulically operated mainsail, genoa, and cutter, electric winches, heating and air conditioning, radar, chart plotter, davits, outboard lift, and much more. Recent upgrades add even more value, with new sails, a new refrigerator and freezer, new air conditioning, new batteries, and replaced hulls. Life on board is a true pleasure, with all the comfort you could wish for. The fully hydraulic sailing system allows for easy sailing with just a few, while her inviting interior - with a comfortable C-shaped sofa to starboard - offers both elegance and functionality.
