Challenger
 The
Challenger is a little sister to the Explorer. 14 feet long, with
either a standing lug or gunter rig, she is a quick, responsive
boat that feels bigger than she is. The simulated clinker hull is
built of GRP and has plenty of volume and buoyancy. The boat is
dry in all but the worst weather.
The cockpit is large enough to accommodate the
classic family of four, with space for the picnic basket as well.
The boat rows easily, and a small outboard motor can be mounted
on the transom. The Challenger is pretty. The lug rig evokes thoughts
of "Swallows and Amazons" and the adventures of youth.
She invites adventures in sparkling bays and muddy estuaries.
