Cruising motor yacht 52MC FASTLANE

A standout boat in so many ways, the Contest 52MC is a spectacularly effective design. Especially so as she is Contest Yachts’ first ever motorboat in this league. The yachting press love her looks and her handling. They say she astounds. Her innovative, half-planing hull riding as though on rails, tracking straight and staying flat right through the tightest of turns, trimming perfectly with power options from twin 350hp to 550hp diesels. Attaining this praise, the Contest 52MC presents a newly optimised hull form equally capable of high speed, deep-sea passage making, and slow-paced cruising through inland waterways with absolutely minimal wake or water disturbance. Achieving both with near unbelievable fuel economy. And defying the conventions of traditional planing, displacement and semi-displacement principles The joint creation of longstanding design partner Georg Nissen, acclaimed design-engineers Vripack, and the yard’s own in-house design team, the 52MC is also an unusually versatile design platform, available in Flybridge as well as Fastlane versions. Interior layouts are extensively customisable too. First sight positions this innovative motor cruiser perfectly. The sleek sedan style deck saloon. The purposeful high bulwarks, topped with both capping and raised handrails. Proportions and scale projecting prowess and deep-sea capability. Stepping aboard through the integrated side deck gates or the passage transom walkways, the deck plan immediately impresses. The spacious, protected cockpit with meticulously upholstered seating around an expanding dining table that converts to sizeable sunpad. The transom garage for tender beneath. The merging side decks.
