Summary:
Used 1978
Location:
Coatham Mundeville
Description:
A cruiser/racer designed around the 3/4 Ton series by Doug Peterson. In its 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 n remarkably good cosmetic and mechanical order with a completely replaced modern Selden mast & rig in 2008; 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 a Sadler 32; Sigma 33; GK 29-type of boats and in 'ready to sail' order.

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.
