Contest Yachts Contest 67CS
About this yacht
The Contest 67CS represents a significant evolution in bluewater cruising design. Built by Contest Yachts since 2014, this 21.71-meter sailing yacht combines the proven Contest philosophy of all-weather capability with enhanced light-wind performance, making her equally at home on extended ocean passages or Mediterranean coastal cruising. Designed by judel/vrolijk & co, the 67CS achieves a rare balance between comfort and performance. Her structural approach reduces displacement while increasing hull stiffness, creating more interior volume without compromising the seaworthiness that defines the Contest name. The result is a genuine bluewater cruiser that responds beautifully in varying conditions, from gentle Mediterranean breezes to demanding offshore passages. The yacht's versatility extends to her configuration. Owners can choose between carbon or aluminum rigs to match their sailing priorities, while the interior offers flexible layouts with the master cabin positioned either forward or aft. Accommodation ranges from three to five cabins for guests, with the option of adding a dedicated crew cabin forward or midships for those considering charter use. On deck, the Contest 67CS features the builder's signature dual cockpit arrangement. The forward cockpit provides a deep, well-cushioned social area, while the aft working cockpit houses twin pedestals, centrally mounted mainsheet controls, and integrated navigation displays. Despite her size, the yacht remains manageable for a small crew, with straightforward sail handling systems and excellent stability under way. The low-profile deckhouse maintains classic proportions while the generous sail plan offers multiple configurations. An integral bowsprit accommodates various code sails, and owners can specify in-mast or in-boom furling for simplified mainsail handling. Long horizontal hull windows balance the tall topsides, which create exceptional headroom below while providing ample space beneath the sole for technical equipment. Storage solutions are comprehensive, including an expansive lazarette and tender garage with room for dive compressors, water toys, and sports equipment. The engineered bimini and sprayhood provide robust weather protection while offering secure handholds for crew movement—designed for serious offshore work yet easily removed and stowed when not needed. Below deck, the 67CS delivers remarkable quietness under all conditions—sailing, motoring, or at anchor. This reflects superyacht-standard engineering in noise and vibration management. The interior typically features a master suite aft with two additional guest suites forward, plus an optional bunked cabin. Galley arrangements come in corridor or wraparound configurations, while a dedicated standing-height technical room protects sensitive electronics and simplifies maintenance access. With CE Category A certification for unlimited offshore voyaging and a draft of 2.95 meters, the Contest 67CS stands as a thoroughly capable performance cruiser that doesn't compromise on comfort or finish quality.
