Parkstone Bay Yachts is thrilled to present SHIBUMI - 1995 Contest 40S installed with a Volvo Penta TMD22 with 75 BHP.
The Contest 40S is celebrated for its exceptional speed in any conditions. With its sleek and stylish design, this yacht combines elegance with agility. Below deck, you'll find a generous amount of space, including a tastefully furnished aft cabin complete with an en-suite head, creating a private retreat for you. The forward guest suite offers a comfortable stay for friends and family. The roomy galley prioritizes safety and convenience, while the well-thought-out chart table is perfect for detailed ocean passage planning.
One cannot help but admire the teak decks of SHIBUMI, which remain in excellent condition given the vessel's age. These decks should offer many more years of enjoyment before any replacement is needed.
With amenities such as Bow-Thruster, Power Winch, In-Mast Furling and Full Suite of B&G Instrumentation SHIBUMI is a pleasure to handle and extremely forgiving.
