Contest 50CS - light wind sailing ease in modern luxurious comfort

Contest Yachts build this premium 50-footer with two layouts. Toby Hodges did a two day heavy weather review on the 49CS (link below) - and now follows a light wind tour of the aft master cabin 50CS version. Which would you pick?

The Dutch know their trade and they rule the waves! What a beautiful boat this Contest 50CS is! I am sure it costs a fortune but still great to see that such boats exist! THANK YOU for the great review!

Another great review of a fabulous yacht. I have spent some time aboard myself and can confirm the quantity and attention to detail from this fantastic yacht builder. Your reviews make me want to buy them all Toby! 😂

This sailboat and oyster 495 are in my top 5 boats

Nice. Not that i can afford either, but this …..or the slightly older 50CS with one central helm? The older one sails really well, the interior is also fantastic, the aft cabin is hardy cramped & on a filthy night ofshore I think the helm would be a lot more secure / less exposed. But with lots of guests & coastal hopping, the new model deck layout does have useful extra space.

Very nice boat and nice presentation, I'd like to know the price though. I wouldn't mind setting up a boat like this for a solo journey, I think that would make for a worthwhile adventure.

is it true that contest yachts all come with double hull?

Amazing boat great review, however it’s a 1% yacht. Only 1% of the population can afford it. Thx for the review. As always you bring the best.

Wow great boat, great content, sailing in light wind can be uncomfortable in my 1995 Morgan but one thing I don’t have that is really uncomfortable is the “music” in the beginning of this video!

If the 49’ is identical … why the 50’?

I would like to see some real world stuff like a guy alone when that forward stay breaks haul the sail back on the boat in 20/30 knot winds, what does the manual say about that ? stuff that's going to happen, i'm sure they had some guy thinking up how to sort out normal sailing issues like that
