Friends, today we have an upgraded Contest 38S for 52 200 euros!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location: Norway<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Length: 11.35 meters
Beam: 3.66 meters
Draft: 1.96 meters
Sleeping places: 7
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reliable and durable Swedish-made boat. The build quality is comparable to such boats as Hallberg-Rassy, Najad, Malo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boat has recently returned from a trip to the north of Norway, for which she’d been totally prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire electrical system has been upgraded, including new lithium batteries, a new Victron charger with charging monitoring via an app on your phone, and new wiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The navigation system has been completely updated. Chartplotter, autopilot with remote control, radar, VHF with in-put in the cockpit and on the nav table, and much more are installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior looks good. Very large aft cabin with three berths. New mattresses in the cabins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The galley has everything you need, including a fridge with freezer, a stove with an oven and a set of unbreakable dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, there is a boiler, Webasto, gas and C02 leak sensors, fire alarm, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sails are quite old, but in working order. There is a genoa on a furling, a jib, a mainsail and a spinnaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2012 Yanmar engine runs like clockwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also a life raft on the boat, but it needs to be serviced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
