This Contest 38S “INUK” was refitted by a Dutch couple in preparation for their trans-Atlantic crossing in 2022. New standing rigging, a life raft, and a new mainsail and jib were among the many upgrades completed prior to their crossing.
In mid-2023 they sold INUK to her current owner, who undertook over $20k of upgrades and modifications including new air conditioning, a new headsail, modifying the mainsail to accommodate full battens, as well as rigging modifications to enable the skipper to raise the mainsail from the cockpit. Also included are new batteries, 110V electrical systems, and many other items. A recent bottom job now makes her ready to launch and go. Like all Contest yachts, she comes with a Lloyd’s Certificate of Build Quality.
A few key upgrades from the 2022 refit as well as the 2025/26 refit and upgrades include significant improvements both on deck and below decks.
On Deck
Numerous on-deck upgrades were completed during the refits.
Below Decks
Numerous below-deck upgrades and systems improvements were completed during the refits.
This does NOT include the cost of the standing rigging, new mainsail and jib (~$20k).
The current owner has health issues and has chosen to significantly reduce the price for a quick sale as he cannot use the vessel. He has over $100k invested and is ready to let someone benefit from his investment as his plans have changed and he is no longer able to come sail as planned. Someone is going to get an amazing deal on this solid, capable center cockpit cruiser.
Reach out for many more photos or to schedule a LIVE virtual tour of the vessel so you can see her for yourself in Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour, BVI.
