This Devonport Challenge Business 67' has sailed the Global Challenge 1 time and had the sailing number CB35.

In 2013 she has undergone a refit:

  • Body and superstructure completely repainted;

  • Flexi Teek deck has been applied;

  • Interior with new plating material, finishing moldings and upholstery;

  • The stern is equipped with an extra guest cabin;

  • The mast has been dismantled, repaired where necessary, sprayed and rebuilt;

  • The standing rig has been inspected;

  • The running rig has been completely replaced;

  • Electrical installation partly renewed;

  • Most of the pumps were renewed;

  • Large part of the navigation instruments renewed;

  • Full ist of activities performed is available.

In 2018 the mainsail, the Yankee and the cutter were replaced. This makes this Challenge Business 67 ready for journeys across the world.

The Challenge 67' Class yachts were designed for The Challenge Business by David Thomas, specifically to race around the world “the wrong way”. The design brief called for exceptionally strong, seaworthy, fast, attractive, modern, steel yachts that were able to sail to windward across the Southern Ocean in relative comfort.

Safety was paramount both in terms of structural strength and crew safety. Because of the One Design nature of the race, the design was not influenced or distorted by any rating rule and a sensible displacement was specified. Other important design considerations include, ease of access to the structure, equipment, systems, wiring and fittings for maintenance and inspections both at sea and in harbour. Every piece of equipment had to be robust enough to survive a race around the world with minimum maintenance.

Many of the design principles were based on Sir Chay Blyth’s (then unique) experience of sailing around the world single handed against the prevailing winds and currents.

Devonport Yachts (DML) were chosen to build the fleet to Bureau Veritas highest notation. The construction method allows relatively simple and cost effective alterations to the interior layout.
