Broker's Comments
Built at a time when the price of fiberglass resin was not an issue this model of Contest was heavily laid up and has passed the test of time. Whilst she would benefit from some cosmetic upgrading the owner reports that she is sound, all systems are working and she is ready to go. A great boat for cruising sailors on a budget.
