1988 Contest 38s

Turn-Key Ready! Just Add Food and Fuel and Start Your Adventure in the Heart of the Caribbean! 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 outlined below. 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.
