What a nice boat. I have to say, since I've been bitten by the yachting bug (still need to make the cabbage to be able to afford it - working on that), this presenter is among the best I've seen - excellent hire, Yachting World. Great use of the language to get the feel of the boat across to viewers. Some of the best styling I've seen in a monohull. The owner has great taste.
Thank you for spending more time on the video and showing more below deck. GREAT VIDEO!!! Looking forward to the next!
I think I've watched this video a dozen times. What an amazing yacht.
It is one of the most impressive overviews. Good work
Favorite jazz lyrics stitched into the bedding, that is a level of "fuck you money" I was not aware of
lukassnakeman Well said, loool.
FYI the front and center RUM is Venezuelan. I know this because my family and I grow the sugarcane in Venezuela for that company. Fantastic review on the boat and thanks for spending time on the details.
not sure what is more breathtaking, the editing or the yacht itself.....really conveys the experience...
The thing about yacht videos is that you can watch them over and over again and never get tired.
The design of this Yacht is absolutely incredible. I also love the music, editing and cinematography. What an amazing video. I enjoyed watching it.
Excellent presentation Toby and guys at YW. !!!
You are a brilliant speaker, very precise and concise and managed your sentences and suitable words as well. Very good in fact. Go ahead. I like it..
The new Amel 60 for me over this, but the interior design is spot on!, just gorgeous :)
Really great yacht! I know the wharf owner, by the way the third generation, knows how to built nice seagoing yachts. Quality is amazing. Like to see the new launched 85 ft..
Toby Hodges is my favorite boat reviewer. Ever since the Gunboat 66 review I enjoy and trust his opinion and feel for each boat he presents. Keep them coming please.
Maybe someone needs to educate you...
He’s my favorite yacht endorser and pitch man. Do not call him a reviewer.
'A true small superyacht' Well documented!
Absolutely Beautiful, I can see my self with this one traveling the 7 seas.
If there were Oscars for Best Music For a Yachting Sales Pitch Video, this would win!
Эта яхта одна из моих фаворитов :) Очень шикарная!
What a beauty! In and out Dutch quality! No French or German crap. High build quality with real cruiser in mind.
I'll take it. Put it on my tab.
Great video, lovely yacht. Would be nice to see the crew cabins when doing reviews though.

Belleza de yate, increíble.
Beautiful ❤️
Beautiful design and practical
I would only need bbq ,some bimini and a few solars to be ready to sail the world
What stuck both my wife and me about this review was the look of utter sadness on the reviewer’s face, which we thought must have been put there because at the same time that he was discovering what I think is the most beautiful and elegant yacht I have ever seen and lusted for, he could not help but reflect that he would have to leave and in all probability would never get to sail it agin. That look of sorrow did more to sell that yacht than any amount of vulgar enthusiasm.
Money notwithstanding, what boat would you pick? Single/ shorthanded sailing being a must have…
I didn't hear a word about dry products storage , neither about retractable keel . What makes me furies (regarding all boats ) lack of a maintenance room. Not always sun shines , wind 3*B and everything works perfectly as on every video of yours.
Very nice and lovely boat and a really cool jazz walking inside. Can everybody tell me what song it is?
this dude looking devastated
So what’s a toy like this cost? I know if i ask i cant effort it, but still. Its an awesome boat
Beau yacht. Combien y a-t-il de cabines?
Looks great in the sunshine....Bit of a bummer if its howling down with rain, no protection at all. Bit crappy really for something your making out is an ocean crosser.
90 percent of the time or more when they film these videos they remove all of that so that the boat looks sleeker and shows off the lines more.
You're right though that no one attempting to do any offshore or even transoceanic passages would sail the boat in this configuration.
Just wondering if you were planning to make a video from some CNB boat test
It is a very pretty yacht and obviously it sails really well. I like it. Two questions though. How does the crew get to the crew quarters in the bow? Do they have to walk through the port side forward guest cabin? With the single point main sheet forward of the helm stations, how do you build a bimini enclosure that doesn't require the helmsman to walk out into the weather to get from the cabin to the helm? You would need a bimini over the entertainment cockpit, an open gap for the main sheet then another bimini for the helm station. For stormy or cold weather conditions you would want both biminis to be enclosed. So, the helmsman would need to open the rear of the cockpit enclosure, exit, stand in the open, then turn around and close it, then open the helms station enclosure, enter, then close it behind him/her before assuming control of the boat. So, in rain or spray conditions, teh helmsman would need to be wearing foul weather gear to take the watch. Additionally, postulate you're sailing on autopilot with the on-watch helmsman in the comfort of the cockpit enclosure, when something happens that requires immediate manual control of the boat at the helms station. So, the helmsman has to get out of one enclosure and enter the other at speed, possibly in an emergency. Doesn't sound like a very good idea, unless there is a way I don't see to build a single bimini that accommodates the layout.
You are talking about what *you* want. This boat is for sailors that are not afraid of the weather and who want to stand behind those wheels with a view on the sails that isn’t blocked by an enclosed bimini. Believe it or not, but that’s how it has been done for centuries, come rain or shine.
Please get a wind-noise filter for those on-deck chats. Most of them sound as if a train is going by, ten feet away.
Yes would love to cross the Atlantic in this boat. She is beautiful.
Sad i could never get near something like this on a prisonguards salary 😯
Bernt Nielsen brah CO''s making 90k/ year here in Ontario easily you can buy one and live on
Bernt Nielson, maybe you should have studied at school?
I hate to say it, but there's merit in what you said, Reynald. There's a local radio station that opens up phone lines so people can plug their small businesses. 1/3 of the calls are from these uneducated dudes who'll clean up your yard and grind tree stumps for ya. I appreciate their hustle, but they could have done much better in life if they'd stayed in class instead of skipped it to get high.
Лучшая парусная яхта "ручной работы" - Contest 67CS
Лучшая? 67 футов, а шкипер как нашкодивший ученик должен у штурвала стоять всю дорогу или сидеть сбоку на "табурете". Судьи кто?
you had me a humidor!
some people have low standards.... ;)
anyone else think they accidentally started watching an 80's porn
@@jgt_ baw chici wau wau
idk if thats spelled right but its funny
She is stunningly beautiful. No doubt she cones with a super-yacht price tag.
I saw a server room. Is it for bitcoin mining? :)
If your filming outdoor sailing you gotta get a fuzzier mic, get a bigger dead cat or something, the wind noise is awful.
didn't bother me at all.
@@thomaselliott573 Really. Please transcribe what was said between 4:34 - 4:50
@@hottubz1965 its easier to control the helms, and to let the main sheet off.. "
Ethan Merrill *you’re. If you can’t use the English language then don’t comment.
@@steviebee1989 you're moved. Bitch
Toby, what happens if such yachts with so much electronic stuff onboard get hit by lighting?
bit strange that the home port is Valetta and they are flying the dutch flag.
and also meanwhile Belgium sail numbers in the main sail.
Whats with the horror film sound track?
This is confusing. The home port says Valletta Malta, but the flag is Dutch and the sails say it's from Belgium.
Maybe a Belgium owner who had registered his boat in Malta (tax reasons ?) and the Dutch flag was there because the boat was not yet handed over.
Right? Sea trials.
Can this boat be sailed single-handedly?
Clearly - with that setup - a show off yacht for warm climate. It never leaves the Mediterranean.
No rough ocean crossing or rough climate capabilities.
SUPERTOP!!!!!
You would not catch me standing, and more standing.
the mast looked quite tall and the sails skinny are the made like that or was that just me?
And contest,, oh dear it is the number one brand in the world to me at least...
how much you want?
Decisions on whether this or an Oyster 675. Lots of homework required.
For Med I would buy this in an instant, for serious long-distance bluewater passages I would buy the Oyster
What did you decide? Envious of your choice :-)!
Awesome boat, the presenter is about as excited as someone who's dog just stepped off a cliff, but awesome boat!
Sound track is by who please
5:15 Diplomatico Rum….. YUMMMMM
Why is there no comfortable seating for the helmsman ?
In the sun and totally in the weather. Owner doesn't care because he's only going to be there for a few minutes.
When people are looking!
Nice...
easy to handle for two????
How much does it cost
can you name the jazz track when you are down below?
if I'm crossing the ocean I don't want to be in the weather to steer. And no place to sit while at watch
I was wondering if something pops up over you when its 100 degrees or cold rain hitting your face.
j davis, agree. For a sailing couple: 12 hour watches standing up? On a boat they paid how much for?
Crossing the Atlantic in that?? Noo give me a hard dodger first. These sailboats with your butt hanging off the stern don't seem like a safe way to cross any ocean. I'll take an Amel if I had a choice.
What cornskid said
+ this boat is for people who enjoy sailing, not for delosfans who think amel is the only measure because that's the only boat they know
+ in these type of videos they never show the dodgers/biminis because they ruin the look of the boat, and then you always have the 'experts' complaining about how they don't like an exposed helm (as if they are the first to ever think of that🙄)
@@donaldvanvliet9039 True, plus no one would physically standing at the helm when you have an autopilot. You can install bimini and dodgers on virtually any boat. At the price point and size of this yacht, hiring a set of crew is likely a must.
How to tune people of sailing , it is to square for me down below. On deck yes nice but as I said down below is like a box !!!
Wait, is that flag of Indonesia or Monaco?
Netherlands
❤😊supper boot .
Well said commenters below. I'm sure this video took work to make but really, who is the target audience? Not me, that's for sure, and I think Contest are a great boatbuilder.
I am debating which one to buy, this Contest 67CS or Hanse 675... Can someone help me decide please... thnx
Neither, See the Amel from France, in La Rochelle. These people totally think of everything. If you are going to sail your own that would be the best. Also see V/S Delos on TH-cam they did a walk through the factory.
Lots of Love
@Adnan - ive been looking a the exact same boats, the 67CS roughly $4mill, the Hanse $1.4mill but for some reason I keep leaning to the Beneteau Yacht 62 which can be picked up for just about $1mill ish.
I have no doubt you can pay for anyone of these easily, but for me I struggle to see the added value of the 67C, and I keep finding the saloon on the 675 to be unprotected without anything to hang onto when heeling.. and with that Im liking the Yacht62 the best in the same size category..
Oh and don't forget insurance is about 2-3% of boat value per year. so about 20k per mill, not sure I really want to pay 80k insurance for a 67CS.. I could buy a log of very good Cuban Run and Cigars for that insurance money, just saying....
👍👍👍⛵
"On test:..." ? Better rename the video to "On show: ..." as I do not see much testing.
I would love to see:
- how the fancy interior holds up while having +25 knots at open sea...
- how much current the electric winch takes in rough weather and if all the fuses stay in position on such load...
- what gear is used for the sails and winches, typically the small winches may need some upgrade for hard wind....
...
Niels Sterrenburg A Contest is a Contest. Such questions should be asked when testing a bavaria or such. Btw, 25 knots is nothing for such a yacht and the (electric) gear that is on it.
Yeah no Mention That a US$ 3,373,150 Craft has an Open Cockpit that forgets the comfort of a Red Naugahyde Captains Chair... I would hope there is a Pole mount for one... standing room only sounds like a Dive Bar not a Millionaires Club... just an observation
{EDIT}
This one shown must not be that great its for sale... Wah ha ha

The TH-cam vids are teasers for the full article in the magazine, which kinda makes sense since they need to sell the mag, nobody make money on a few hundred k views on YT. ;-)
from the description "Our full boat test report and conclusions are in the February 2017 issue"
That said, they did not test the fuses to failure sooo..
@TERRY WOODS "Red Naugahyde Captains Chair" is for power-boats, it don't work well on a sailboat, at least not at this size.
Wow!
hi all which is the best yacht to buy for my first one I am new to hall this is my time thanks all
I wonder whats the price range for this kind of a boat ? 1-2 Million $ ?
Moksha Shanti more like 3M $ I'dsay
2.57 million euros
They would be half the price if they didn't make so many faults during construction.
Now to the review in 25 knots plus on a hot summer day in a choppy sea. The yacht is a stunning Med weekend boat but on a long sail, Atlantic crossing or round the world you would by sun burnt and bruised and cursing the lack of real practicality around things like dingy ease and accessibility especially if you are sailing as a couple and not with crew.
No shade for long stays on deck, no grab handles below to navigate the open areas in a seaway, impractical sinks and wash basins unless docked and no easy access or security at night for a tender. As said this is a beautiful day sailer and a stunning vanity booster but far from a practical ocean yacht for remote locations. So yachting world either rename the magazine "Med Yachts for weekend use" or point out the reality. Contest yachts are wonderful but lets be realistic about their use.
Dude mad he can’t afford it lol I feel ya though this sailing ⛵️ thing is new to me really
What kind of yacht IS practical and truly a place to live on lengthy voyages?
Dude just put davits on the stern and a bimini over the cockpit and stop whining. Both of which are easy to do. This is a great boat for travelling to remote locations.
It has a garage for the tender - doesn't get much more secure than that.
stunning vessel, however do we really need all that electrical wiring harness? What happened to real sailing? I am a firm believer in K.I.S.S. On my 32' sailboat I just keep the following electronics. GPS. Depth, Wind and VHF. I do have an older autopilot but it has not seen use in 10 years. When I travel long distance away from shore I make sure I have charts, compass sextant and a number of other non electrical navigation aids. I want to be able to relax while sailing. If a fuse pops then I know which one and where it is. I do not want to have to look at a wall of wires and fuses to get things back in order.
Air Marksman well, don't buy this yacht ;-)
hell no. I am happy with my little 32. Only a few electronics. She is old but in good shape.
.......people who buy these boats hardly ever sail them. If a fuse did pop they'd be lost and call the "local" electrician to be dropped in by helicopter .....
Most likely, the owner sits around while the hired staff figure out what's up. I doubt they would put the ship to being truly tested.. They're too afraid of flying with us, riding the rail, dining in 'normal' venues. They're disconnected from the reality of our 'gritty' world.
Air Marksman Alright then stupid, go ahead and keep it simple.
Belo veleiro
Pretty boat, BUT no way to protect the helmsman from the elements-wind and water. And that alone to me is very important. It's not always 15 knots and 4 foot seas. Sorry, but if you gave me one I'd sell it.
Gary Souza oo
I Like The The Edición Limitada 2009... A fine Nub from H. Uppman. Met a man in Miami Beach, At Fountain'e Blue he always had one to give and after 3 months of Drinks at midnight in the Tiki Bar, he always handed me 2 when he arrived... i still have one in the fridge (as Tribute) Not Feeling the Cuban interior here But a respect for the MAN that Smokes a Fine Cigar..just an opinion
Bei 2:32 "flattert" das Achterliek des Großsegels.....;

open cockpit looks a tad exposed for an atlantic crossing
John Smith She’s really a massively expensive daysailer.
this is not cuban rum that's venezuelan rum
...but no main traveler. I don't get it.
not a racing boat... no need for all that stuff... :)
Honestly, there is nothing in this review says I know what I'm talking about. How much refrigeration, storage space.
From the description "Our full boat test report and conclusions are in the February 2017 issue"
He says a great way to cross the atlantic but can you imagine being so exposed for day after day.
Yes! Awesome! That's REAL blue-water sailing!
Can’t imagine cruising on that. Zero protection at the helm.
Not on this configuration.
nice or what?
mistake the kichen doenst have windows.,
boats don't have kitchens
That's because they are not called windows on a boat ;)
Toby looked overawed in that video.
Yeah I think he really wants to save up and buy this boat.
He is a pome, they are easily overawed. :)
this is james bond's boat
Ummmm. How did I miss this one. It should have been the trailer at the movie theater.... Ohhhh wait we don't do that anymore. S A I L
3.4 mil and no cover or safety at helm??? Maybe on a racing bout, but not a yacht.
Have a look at Elley Grey built for a couple to sail the world delivered in 2012 , better build quality better equipped even an electric square sail for trade wind sailing , a jaccusi under the after deck and turns heads where ever she goes at a fraction of this price vat payed .

2:30 It's eiither "hence" or "that's why". "Hence why" = hick speak.
I'd let Ray drive he will do a better job and it gives me time to drink rum .
Wind noise on the mikes is appalling. Get some 'dead cats' for goodness sake! And is it just me, or does Toby seem drunk in some of these shots? A magnificent yacht, though. Must be a beauty to sail. I thought our 57' nordia was big for my wife and I; a 67' would be almost absurd!
I love Contest yachts. This 67 is very pretty, she carries her lines ever so well. The smaller yachts, in their range, IMO have far too much freeboard to be pretty. Unfortunately I find Toby’s reports really quite dull and very uninspiring.
If you rank yourselves as professionals then get yourself a professional sound engineer. There is no point in talking if no one can hear you.
Sounded like wireless dropout. Get a Lectrosonics SM or something.
cornskid Listen at 4:37. The reviewer steps toward the centerline of the boat and the sound level dies and the signal breaks up.
Holy crap so many ash trays and even a cigar humidor. That boat must smell like an old ashtray on the inside. No thanks.
