Broker's Comments

The Challenger Europe is a fast cruiser racer from the '70s. With her wide beam and innovative design details she was considered advanced for her time by the conservative British yacht buyer (who viewed all new fangled French boats with considerable suspicion)!
She has had lots of money spent on her by her present owner including, in no particular order, standing rigging, self tailing winches, electronics, bilge pumps, cradle. Her recent survey for insurance purposes valued her at £9500.
A roomy fast yacht in good order, in commission and ready to sail - a bit of a bargain?
