Description

2007 Contest Yachts 45CS - this is a fantastic example of these well-founded and very capable ocean-going yachts. In her second ownership since new, 'Fly' has been well maintained and offers exceptional features for those looking to cruise in comfort. Laid out with two cabins, the aft master is generously proportioned with a large bed and en-suite heads, and the forward cabin is also well-sized. These are separated by the spacious saloon with a large dining area, dedicated navigation station and access to the well-equipped galley. Rigged with in-mast furling, there is a good sail wardrobe. Other inventory highlights include Yanmar engine, generator, Raymarine electronics, heating, water maker and coppercoat to the hull. This is an excellent all-around package for bluewater cruising or stately local sailing.
