Powered by a excellent, low hours Yanmar 3YM30 (30hp) engine (2010), regularly serviced paired with a stainless steel shaft (2009), this Contention 33 benefits from exceptionally low engine hours — approximately just 50, making her a particularly attractive prospect for buyers seeking reliability and longevity.
This classic 1976 Contention 33 is a fast and sturdy boat of renowned solid construction and comfortable, practical accommodation for up to five. Below deck, she features a welcoming saloon with twin settee berths, a functional galley, forward V-berth, quarter berth, and heads. Her masthead sloop rig combined with a dependable inboard diesel makes her an ideal choice for relaxed and capable coastal cruising.

Galley The galley is conveniently located adjacent to the companionway, providing a safe and functional cooking area at sea. Equipped with a gas hob and oven, stainless steel sink with manual water supply, and ample storage for provisions and utensils. A cool box is also fitted for food storage.
Heads The separate heads compartment includes a marine toilet and wash basin, offering privacy and practicality. Storage for toiletries is provided, along with adequate ventilation.
