A Few FAQs...

Based on the published Design Ratios for the Contest 44, how would you expect the boat to perform under sail?

The Design Ratios indicate that the Contest 44 is a moderately heavy boat with a good sail area to displacement ratio, meaning that she can sail well in light to moderate winds. She also has a high ballast-to-displacement ratio, which gives her stability and stiffness. Her comfort ratio and capsize screening formula suggest that she is a safe and comfortable boat for offshore sailing.

Is the Contest 44 still in production and, if not, when did production end and how many of these sailboats were built?

The Contest 44 is no longer in production. She was built from 1997 to 2000, and there were 18 hulls made.

What, if any, alternative versions of the Contest 44 were built and what are the differences between them?

There were two versions of the Contest 44 built: the standard version and the CS version. The CS version had a taller mast, a deeper keel, and a larger sail area than the standard version. The CS version was also lighter and faster than the standard version.

How many people can sleep on board a Contest 44?

The Contest 44 can sleep up to six people on board. She has three cabins: a master cabin forward with an en-suite head, and two aft cabins with a shared head. She also has a spacious saloon with a U-shaped settee that can be converted into a double berth.

How did the sailing press review the Contest 44?

The sailing press gave positive reviews to the Contest 44, praising her quality, performance, and comfort. For example, Sail Magazine wrote: "The Contest 44 is an impressive yacht that combines excellent sailing characteristics with superb craftsmanship and luxurious accommodations."

What do owners of the Contest 44 have to say about their boats?

Owners of the Contest 44 are generally happy with their boats, and report that they are easy to handle, reliable, and comfortable. For example, one owner wrote: "We have sailed our Contest 44 for over 10 years and have been very pleased with her. She is fast, stable, and seaworthy. She has taken us to many beautiful places and has always been a joy to sail."

What is the history of the builders of the Contest 44 and is the company still in business?

The builders of the Contest 44 are Conyplex B.V., a family-owned company that was founded in 1959 in Medemblik, Netherlands. The company is still in business and continues to produce high-quality yachts under the brand name of Contest Yachts.

Is the mast on the Contest 44 deck-stepped or keel-stepped?

The mast on the Contest 44 is keel-stepped, meaning that it is supported by a metal structure that extends from the keel to the deck. This provides more strength and rigidity to the mast than a deck-stepped mast.

What sailplan and rig options, if any, are available for the Contest 44?

The sailplan and rig options for the Contest 44 are as follows:

• Standard version: sloop rig with furling genoa and mainsail
• CS version: sloop rig with furling genoa and fully battened mainsail

• CS version: fin keel with bulb (draft: 2.35 m)
• Optional: wing keel (draft: 1.80 m)

What is the average cost of a secondhand Contest 44?

The average cost of a secondhand Contest 44 depends on various factors such as age, condition, equipment, location, etc. However, based on some recent listings, the average cost of a secondhand Contest 44 is around £120,000.

How does the Contest 44 compare to other sailboats in its class?

The Contest 44 is a competitive sailboat in its class, which includes other 44-foot cruisers such as the Hallberg-Rassy 44, the Moody 44, the Najad 440, and the Oyster 45. The Contest 44 has some advantages over these boats, such as her modern hull shape, her powerful rig, and her luxurious interior. She also has some disadvantages, such as her relatively high price, her limited production number, and her lack of customization options.

What other sailboats have been created by the designer of the Contest 44?

The designer of the Contest 44 is Dick Zaal, a renowned Dutch naval architect who has designed many other sailboats for various brands. Some of his other designs include the Contest 31, the Contest 36, the Contest 50, the Koopmans 36, the Koopmans 48, the Noordkaper 40, and the Zeehond 37.

Review of Contest 44 (Zaal)

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.

The boat is equipped with 620.0 liter fresh water capacity.

The boat equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.

The boat is typically equipped with an inboard Yanmar 4JH2-DTE diesel engine at 88 hp (65 kW). Calculated max speed is about 6.9 knots

The fuel tank has a capacity of 340.0 liters (89 US gallons, 74 imperial gallons).

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Contest 44 (Zaal) is 1.54, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 8.3 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Contest 44 (Zaal) is about 312 kg/cm, alternatively 1748 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 312 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1748 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Contest Yachts is a well-known Dutch yacht manufacturer, established in the 1970s, which has built a reputation for producing high-quality, performance-oriented sailing yachts. The company’s boats are known for their seaworthiness, durability, and well-designed interiors, and they have a loyal following among experienced sailors.

The Contest 44 sailboat is a well-balanced and spacious yacht from the well-known Dutch yard. She is designed to be sailed by a small crew, with two people able to comfortably sail her. The boat is in excellent condition and features a GRP hull painted in Racing Green, white superstructure, teak laid decks, and cockpit, deep keel, and skeg rudder, Whitlock wheel steering, emergency tiller, and aluminum windshield. The boat comes with sails from 2004 and has been very well taken care of.

The above deck of the Contest 44 Bluewater sailboat is designed for optimal performance and functionality. The boat is sloop-rigged, with round wooden rigging and an electric in-mast furling Selden system. The furlex genoa system allows for easy adjustment of the genoa, a large headsail that is typically used to enhance the performance of the boat. The deck is also equipped with a variety of winches, including 1 electric Lewmar 58 AEST, 1 Lewmar AST, and 2 Lewmar 44 AST, for easy and efficient sail handling. The boat is also equipped with a main sail, genoa, fok, stormfok, and cruising chute with stripper.

The deck of the Contest 44 sailboat is constructed with teak on GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) which provides a durable and non-slip surface. The keel type of the boat is wing keel which provides good stability, and speed.

The deck is also equipped with a variety of deck equipment, including a Delta anchor and an electric Lofrans Project X3 anchor windlass. There is a sprayhood and windscreen to protect the crew from the elements, and a mainsail cover and nuacover to protect the sails when not in use. The deck of the Contest 44 sailboat is designed for safety and functionality, making her a great option for those looking for a well-equipped and well-maintained sailboat.

The below deck interior of the Bluewater Sailboat Contest 44 is designed for comfort and functionality. The boat has 2 cabins and a lounge, providing accommodation for up to 6 people. The interior of the boat is modern, with a wood look, and teak finishes, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The boat has a pressure water system and an outside deck shower, providing ample water supply for the crew and passengers. There is also 1 toilet on board. The boat’s galley is equipped with a 3-burner gas cooker, providing the necessary facilities for preparing meals while on board.

The boat has a water capacity of 519 gallons, providing ample water supply for long voyages. The interior layout of the boat consists of a large owners cabin in the aft and a guest cabin in the front with a V-berth. The cabins are well-appointed and comfortable, with ample storage space for personal belongings. The boat’s layout allows for comfortable living spaces and easy access to the deck.

Performance

Performance-wise, the boat’s Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 13.8 suggests that the boat will need a stiff breeze to get going and may struggle in light conditions, requiring motor-sailing. The Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 33.9 means that the boat will have a tendency to heel excessively in a gust and will need to be reefed early to keep it upright in a moderate breeze. The Displacement/Length Ratio of 312 indicates that the boat is a heavy displacement cruising boat, which can handle a heavy load, but is not ideal for coastal sailing. The Comfort Ratio of 49.2 suggests that crew comfort in a seaway is similar to what you would expect from a heavy bluewater cruising boat, and the Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.6 tells us that the boat would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.

Now you can also precisely calculate the expenses related to boat ownership to make smart choices based on your budget and sailing needs. Use this bluewater Sailboat Calculator to explore different options and make the best decision.

Contest 44CS is a 44 ′ 3 ″ / 13.5 m monohull sailboat designed by Georg Nissen and built by Contest Yachts - Conyplex between 2000 and 2005.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Draft wing keel: 1.8m/5.92’
