Description

Contention 33 - 1978 - £17,950 A cruiser/racer designed around the 3/4 Ton series by Doug Peterson. In it's day the Contention 33 model collected a good deal of silverware. This particular example currently strikes a good balance between cruising in comfort and the ability to go faster - with her 1.82m draught and lead keel, she stands up to her canvas well and because her lines haven't been distorted to accommodate an aft 'cabin', she remains nicely balanced on the helm while doing it!   Don't confuse this boat with the usual worn out, stripped bare, ex-club racers you may have seen, she is actually in remarkably good cosmetic and mechanical order with a completely replaced modern Selden mast & rig; recent, good quality sails; a replacement Beta Marine engine with less than 950 hrs running time and she has been maintained to high standards by her current owner (of 24 years' standing). She was professionally stripped, dried and epoxied back in 2000 by Mylor Yacht Harbour and then stripped of anti-foulings, back to the epoxy surface in 2020 before three further coats of epoxy were applied. Definitely a very worthy and desirable alternative to Sadler 32; Sigma 33; GK 29-type of boats and in 'ready to sail' order. AccommodationThe accommodation is laid out with 5 berths within the forward cabin and main saloon. Originally, there would have been an additional two pilot berths, one to each side of the saloon, but these have been converted to very practical storage spaces with closed lockers to the forward ends. In fact there is a notably generous amount of storage throughout the boat. This boat's interior was built with a practical fiberglass headliner for the sake of easy maintenance and she is clean and dry.Forward cabin:2 single berths in the forward cabin in the form of a 'V', with an infill cushion to provide a double. Navy blue, fabric covered berth cushions. Open shelf unit each side of the berth. 2 x 240v, 13 Amp electrical sockets.Heads compartment:Lavac sea toilet to port. Pull out basin above with pumped fresh water. Closed locker above & outboard. Overhead opening deck hatch. A large hanging locker is provided to starboard and, although the orginal doors to this space have been removed, these have been retained, to be returned to the boat as required. 2 x fire extinguishers.Saloon:Two straight settee berths each side of the centre-line, both fitted with lee cloths. The original pilot berths, outboard are now used as bulk storage areas, each with closed storage units fitted to the 'foot' end against the forward bulkhead. There is no fixed table as such, but an independent folding occasional table is caried and used, either in the saloon, or in the cockpit. Galley area:2-burner Techimpex gas replacement cooker with oven & grill replaces the original. A stainless steel sink with 2 foot-pumped water supplies (one salt). Plenty of storage. The crockery, pots & pans and cooking utensils seen in the pictures are to go with the boat.Nav area:A large, forward-facing chart table with internal storage, navigators seat with domestic batteries under. Single 240v socket and adjacent inverter for when away from shore support. A 4-outlet 12V DC is also fitted immediately behind the Navigator's right ear.Quarter berth to starboard, aft of the navigators seat, with the engine cranking battery secured under.   Sails and SparsDouble-spreader, keel-stepped mast by Selden 2008, together with dedicated mast partners.
