DESCRIPTION

Remarks :

 

Contest 42 Ketch – CHRISTINA MAY has been in the same ownership for 23 years with two previous owners.  Contest yachts built by Conyplex in Holland are built to a very high standard.  Christina May is a cruising ketch, displacement hull with medium keel and skeg hung rudder, a centre cockpit with wheel steering.

The present owners have cruised extensively abroad and lived aboard while travelling. They have lived an eco-friendly life on board by applying the KISS principal, using little energy and carrying a small Honda generator.

Last survey 19/10/18.  Christina May is a great boat with a good reputation based on the River Dart.
