Contest yachts are Dutch-built cruising yachts with a long history of offshore-oriented design, ranging from earlier conventional cruisers to larger modern performance cruisers. This section provides model-specific rigging information to help owners plan standing-rigging renewal and associated upgrades. The individual guides include indicative replacement costs plus running-rigging, furling, kicker, winch, mast and boom recommendations where appropriate data is available. Rig arrangements can vary considerably across generations and larger models may use more complex standing rigging or furling equipment. Existing stay geometry, terminal interfaces, mast fittings and installed systems should therefore be verified before ordering replacement components.
Useful Contest rigging guides include: Contest 29, Contest 31, Contest 33, Contest 35, Contest 38 and Contest 42CS. Open a model guide for indicative standing-rigging sizes, replacement costs and equipment recommendations.
