1997 Contest 60

.The Contest 60 "Timina" is a true example of a classic blue water cruiser, built to Lloyd's specifications for those ready to sail the world's oceans. With her robust construction and meticulous maintenance, she is in ready-to-go condition. Outfitted with top-tier equipment and a sheltered cockpit, she offers both safety and comfort for long voyages. Whether you're planning coastal cruising or ocean crossings, "Timina" is the perfect partner for any adventure, both North & South.

Timina can easy cruise and be managed within a reduced crew, actually managed by the owner lonely. (Initially the boat was build to sail worldwide for 2 person). The current owner has improved the boat to be maximized redondancy in all equipment as possible, in i.e.  autopilot, navigation equipment, solar equipment, etc. Currently sailing in the Carribean.
