About The Contender

The International Contender was designed by Bob Miller (Ben Lexcen) and was selected in 1967, during trials, as a potential Olympic successor to the Finn dinghy. The Contender was awarded International status in 1968 and now has fleets in more than twelve countries throughout the world

The Contender Class is truly International, holding ISAF International status. As well as a strong Australian fleet, there are fleets in the United Kingdom, North America, and right across Europe. The World Championship routinely attracts turnouts of over 100 boats.
