Are you looking for a yacht that combines uncompromising build quality, safety, and excellent sailing characteristics? This Contest 38S from 1990, designed by the legendary Dick Zaal and built by the renowned Conyplex yard in Medemblik, is now available for a new owner. The Contest 38S is known as a true 'blue water cruiser'. Thanks to the deep and sheltered midship cockpit (center cockpit) and solid fiberglass construction, this vessel offers maximum comfort and safety, even under the most challenging conditions at sea. This Contest 38S is the perfect yacht for sailors dreaming of distant voyages but also wishing to spend weekends comfortably on inland waters or the North Sea. She has always been lovingly maintained, which is evident in every detail. A solid, value-retaining investment in pure sailing pleasure. Engine & Electrical: Up-to-date and Reliable Where many vessels from this year still have their original engine, the "Blabber" was fitted in 2007 with a powerful and extremely reliable 55 hp Volvo Penta D2-55E diesel engine (indirectly cooled, fixed propeller shaft). The electrical system is also excellently prepared for long autonomous journeys: Batteries: Fully renewed in 2025 (1x starter, 2x accessory). Solar power: 3 Victron Energy solar panels (totaling over 255W) keep your battery capacity effortlessly topped up. Inverter & Charger: Mastervolt IVO Smart battery charger and a Victron inverter (12V to 220V). Monitoring via the reliable Victron BMV-6025 battery monitor. Ready for long voyages & off-grid anchoring! Navigation & Equipment: Ready for Open Water The "Blabber" is a dream for the demanding navigator. The equipment is very complete and professional: Navigation: Raymarine E80 Chartplotter, Raymarine ST60+ Tridata (Log/Depth), Autohelm Wind & Compass. Autopilot: Raymarine ST 7002 Smart Pilot with Seatalk system. Safety & Communication: True Heading AIS CTRX Carbon+ (2012), Standard Horizon VHF radio with AIS reception (2012), and an ICOM IC-718 SSB receiver with pactor modem for global communication. Anchoring: Heavy Rocna 20 kg anchor (2012) on chain with a Seawolf electric windlass. Windpilot: a mechanical wind vane steering system that steers your sailboat into the wind. The greatest advantage is that the system operates entirely without power, relieving your batteries. The harder it blows, the more steering force the vane provides. It holds course without needing to steer manually. Ideal for longer passages. Rigging & Extras The vessel is sloop rigged with a solid Selden mast and stainless steel wire rigging. The sail wardrobe consists of: Roller mainsail Doyle Genoa (2014) on Furlex roller system Working jib & Storm jib Gennaker including sock (for light winds) 5x Self-tailing winches Included extras: A Nissan 9.8 hp outboard motor (2014) for your dinghy, fenders, lines, and a cockpit table. Frames for a sprayhood and bimini are already present. Extra point of attention: The teak deck shows clear signs of wear (including thinning teak and locally peeling parts) and needs restoration. This is a known point of attention for the boat and has been factored into the asking price. Come view the "Blabber"! This value-retaining quality yacht awaits you gleaming. Are you ready to make your sailing dreams come true?
