Contest 45CS

Delivered in June 2008 and now for sale through Contest Brokerage, the Contest 45CS "Liberty" is a well-equipped and beautifully maintained cruiser, ready to sail. Built to the high standards of Contest Yachts, it features an electric mainsail, teak interior with light gray upholstery, teak decks, generator, and carpeting throughout. Its spacious interior, designed by Birgit Schnaase, and strong vacuum-infused hull by Georg Nissen provide both comfort and performance. With four electric winches, easy sail handling, and a large chart plotter screen in the cockpit, it is a pleasure to sail her. The quiet generator ensures complete electrical independence on board. The Liberty is ready for her next journey, wherever it may lead. Note: this is a preliminary brochure.
