1986 Contrast 36. A wonderful example of this fast cruising yacht which has also been used for family sailing and cross channel passages.

Bien construit, ce sloop, avec ses deux timoneries (barres a roues interieur et exterieur) peut être pilote en equipage reduit grace a ses voiles sur enrouleurs et son propulseur d'etrave rectractable. Le poste de pilotage interieur, le chauffage central, l'isolation thermique et phonique, et l'immense cabine propriétaire à l'arrière concourent a faire de ce bateau un modele de confort pour un programme hauturier. //// This well built Sloop with double steering position can be sailed short handed thanks to her bow thruster and roller furler sails. The comfort is provided by an enclosed helm position, central heating, special sound and thermal protection and a huge and comfortable aft owner's cabin.
