2009 Contest 50CS

Welcome to S/Y Atlas Shrugged (yachts website www.contest50CS.com); immaculately maintained & the most upgraded Contest 50CS on the market. She was commissioned by her first German owner and hit the water in September 2009. After being trucked to Genoa, Italy in 2010 and sailed for 2 seasons she was shipped back to the Contest  Yard in 2011 and laid up inside their heated hangers. When I purchased her in  September 2013 she’d logged 1600nm and had run 259 engine hours. As she was new & hardly used she lacked a lot of blue water and live-aboard equipment. That said she was commissioned with full hydraulics (main & genoa) & Lewmar/Anderson bronze/chrome electic winches making sail handling easy even single-handed. 

Under my ownership she’s undergone yearly refits & upgrades including generator install, new interior, fixed bimini/roof, davits, new tender, new anchor, new sails, Selden 304S cutter furler, continuous furling gennakers, teak deck recaulked/refitted, 2nd auto-pilot & aft air-conditioning installed. For the full upgrade & options list extending to over 350.000 EUR please visit 'Specifications & upgrades' and 'Refit & Maintenance' on my website www.contest50cs.com. Winter 2024/25 she is undergoing a complete Selden mast & hydraulics refit including new standing rigging. She is currently in winter storage at the Contest Yard in Medemblik, Holland where she is available for viewing by prior arrangement.

After nearly 30.000 nm at sea and a decade as a part-time live aboard Atlas Shrugged is now looking for a new experienced owner. Although 15y of age this classic blue water cruiser is in impeccable, as new, condition and for sale @ 625.000 EUR (EU VAT paid).
