What’s the buzz?
For its first step into the
fully-crewed 25m-plus
sector, Contest’s new
flagship is an expert
debut. Working with naval architect Judel/Vrolijk and
interior designer Wetzels Brown Partners towards a
2018 launch, the 25.8m 85CS will be a fun, nimble
cruiser ready to take her hands-on owner around the

In the sheds: Wave 38

What’s the buzz?

The Wave 38 is part

of a series of yachts

between 38m and

60m designed with

Philippe Briand. While

it is keeping details

fairly quiet, Admiral Sail describes the Wave series as

“fun” and “fast”, and reveals that the 38m will feature

a captive reel system and generous interior volume.

In the sheds:

Long Island 100

What’s the buzz?

An evolution of the Long

Island 85, the second

of which has just been

delivered, JFA’s first Long

Island 100 is presently on hold, but will unusually feature

a full beam master cabin on the bridge platform as well

as a modern interior by Franck Darnet. As with the 85, naval

architecture and exterior styling is by Marc Lombard, and

the 100 promises performance and easy-to-handle sailing.
