1. perfection

2. Yes! My second wish after Azuree 46! Dutch quality!

3. Love your pronunciation of Texel 🙂

4. Nice boat! "TeXel." LOL. Good times. 😉

5. Oudeschild! <3

6. Buy the best and only cry once.

7. I love the Quality, like Hallberg Rassy but more modern Design

8. Clever design, but not so clever with the exposed helm position in nasty weather.

9. Expensive boats really do need to drop the Nespresso… it really does not say quality 😆

10. You buy an expensive boat wnich comes with a fake teak which costs more than real teak. Where is the world going to?

    If you do not like the wood, what is the point of covering plastic with another layer of plastic?

11. Nice to see a review in more 'real world' weather conditions.

12. I would not want to sleep on a bed with so much electrical equipment underneath. All that electromagretic waves! Like living in a transformator house!

13. Manual fuses ♥️

14. I know it built for a RIB but that would be awesome for garbage stowage until reaching port.

15. What a shame, that freeboard is so high, not at all in proportion to its length. Dissapointed in Contest.

16. Stay sail i cannot see where to run the sheets ?

17. Showing downstairs while sailing. I totally dig that! Thanks!

18. Thanks Toby for another excellent review! Loved the way that boat goes to weather in that breeze.

19. Argen and Contest should really be congratulated on this beautiful new yacht. You can see the joy on Toby's face when he is sailing and talking about this yacht. Given the amount of boats he sees and sails each year I am sure that genuine responce is difficult to achieve. You only achieve this level of quality with a dedicated team. Well done everyone. I hope I get to sail one. 😀

20. Cool boat. Freeboard that high almost makes it look like a motor sailor though. I guess that’s the price you pay for so much interior room on a 50 footer.

21. Whow, love the boat. think it would be a perfect liveaboard boat or/and a nice blue water cruiser

22. It's a lovely boat but a general question, aren't the new performance cruising cats just better than the sloops? The cats are so much faster (2+ times faster on most points typically) which is such a valuable safety and comfort feature, have so much more space, and the space is more useful, eg the cat saloons have wonderful 360° views not the pokey windows often above sightlines, the cats are more comfortable at most points of sailing and at anchor, seems to me that the cat is the logical choice for 90+% of users. Don't get me wrong, I love the sloop form but don't really understand why so many are still developed and made when cats seem the better choice to me.

23. Toby!

24. I got no words Toby.

25. Beautiful boat

26. Expensive boat with so many things, which should be part of a minimum inventory, but are left in options!

    Nice to see the inside at sea, thanks for the great effort.

    But: there are as good as no waves outside, and yet it is already uneasy to move through, jumping from a handrail to another distant one – not to speak about staying laying on a bed at sea. A couple of days with a few "normal" tradewind waves, and everyone is bruised and hurt on board.

    Well, a modern boat, such as we more often see chartered near marinas rather than in high seas.

    I may be too old a skipper of RORC boats to enjoy an island bed upwind with 30 knots and 2.5 meters (only) waves.

    Greetings to all from the South China Seas, where the rain saison finishes into the usual cyclonic period!

27. How would you compare this with Nautor's Swan, Euphoria etc?

28. I will never have that choice to make either Toby, nice to dream though. Now, where did I park my old Contessa?

29. I appreciate seeing a review with realistic sailing conditions, including Toby going through the interior with full foul weather gear and a PFD.

30. Really great review of the Contest 49, very useful to see how she behaved in those conditions. Looked like fun to sail and still very quiet down below. Love the extended review as it provides a more in depth understanding of the features and performance of the yacht.

31. Lovely boat, quality build.
    My Cloggie oppos would give me a slap if I didn`t say Tessel though 😎

32. I thought the mic on the camera had gone bad as the boat was quiet inside even though it was windy outside
    Everything looks perfect in its place

33. wow, it is almost eery how quiet that was inside, despite the conditions outside.

34. Not that I can afford it either Toby but how much (as tested)??

35. Sail drive 😤

36. Gorgeous boat: I'm going to go raid the couch cushions and see if I can't rummage up the money for it 😉

37. Great review Toby, as I love Contest Yachts; I would love to live aboard a Contest. Keep an eye out for the new Hallberg-Rassy 69.

38. A brilliant review by Toby, thank you so much, I loved the action shots.
    My main criticism of this boat however is the sheer exposure. Both at the stern for the helmsman/woman, left miles behind the shelter of the sprayhood, and importantly towards the bow with the tiniest of grab rails on the coach roof, no granny bars at the mast, and acres of exposed wave washed deck.
    I think I would want solid guardrails as a minimum, as seen on so many Dutch boats.
    At least exposure on my little 24' gib'sea isn't a problem I suffer with !

39. I like it better than the Oyster 495

40. Really, nice cruise. Over Atlantic? Are you stupid?

41. The 8 X 8 on the front is ass ugly…a stunning visual design flaw.

42. I take Oyster 495 all day. Closed format galley, better positioned nav station so I can watch my porn without my wife see me and twin rudders.

43. Would love to see a Yachting World multi-day review of sailing a Kraken Yacht!
