Description
.
Offered for sale by her first and only owner, this Contest 46 presents a rare opportunity to acquire a classic from the renowned Contest yard in Medemblik, The Netherlands.
Originally launched in 1989, Harlekin has remained with her first owner ever since. Over the years, she has been consistently maintained and thoughtfully upgraded.
Notably, the hull was extended by one metre at the stern, improving both sailing performance and storage. A fixed dodger has also been added from the factory, offering increased protection and comfort on deck. She is offered at a very competitive price, reflecting that the teak deck and standing rigging are still original.
This provides an excellent opportunity for a new owner to modernize according to personal preferences while benefiting from an attractive purchase price.
Overall, she presents a strong and honest foundation for someone looking for a high-quality bluewater cruiser.
