The contest 29 is a fantastic family cruising yacht, she has numerous upgrades including a new rudder and tiller (2011, tiller is from Sir Francis Chichester's Gypsy Moth) her hull was re-sprayed in (2010) and standing rigging replaced (2008/2010), she had a new Beta 14hp engine in 2005 that has been maintained each season. Chaitanya's sail wardrobe is in as new condition with the most recent sail being the main which was built in 2010, all sails laundered each year along with all other canvas for the yacht.Her condition is at a very high standard with all original features inside & out, viewing highly recommended!
