1993 Contest 40S – ARABELLA – SOLD

Thursday 7th November 2024

Mark Cameron Yachts are delighted to announce the successful sale of the 1993 Contest 40S ‘ARABELLA’.

At the time of its introduction in the early 1990’s the Contest 40S was a leap forward for the Dutch builders with her more modern hull shape and improved below decks accommodation. Designed to maximise hull speed while being predictable and easy to handle under sail the sleeker profile with finer hull sections went on to become the Contest Yachts style for the following decades.

Commissioned by her original owner in 1993 to his own ‘blue water specification’ the boat has several transatlantic crossings under her hull already, having extensively cruised the waters of the Caribbean and Eastern seaboard of America. Professionally maintained and upgraded throughout the first ownership. Sold through our brokerage to her current owners in 2019 the Contest 40S ARABELLA has enjoyed extensive upgrading and re-fitting in recent years.

The Contest 40S ARABELLA was handed over to her new owners lying afloat in her berth at Largs Yacht Haven where she will remain for the winter. After a ‘shakedown season’ next year her new owners have plans for adventures further afield, we wish them the best of luck with this exciting adventure.
