38' Contest 38s Ketch

'Comfortable and ocean proven blue water cruiser with safe centercockpit. Beautiful craftmanship throughout, the interior of the Contest 38s has a luxurious atmosphere. Ample stowage space and headroom, combined with a smart and effective layout, makes Joy ideal for an owners couple.
Solidly built, heavy displacement but with fin keel and ketch rigged, so easy handling for the crew. Joy has been exceptionally well maintained and improved by her owners (mechanical engineer and his wife who sees cleaning as a hobby). The boat is fully equipped for living aboard in remote places. She is ready to sail away to new horizons and adventures.'

We are live aboards for six years and have completed our world sailing tour, having sailed in more than 17 countries and crossed multiple oceans. From tropical waters to the rugged coast of Alaska, Joy has taken exceptionally good care of us. We returned the favour by taking very good care of her.
