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.ACCOMMODATION Material: White plating material Saloons: Saloon with guests cabin, Front cabin with 2 x guests cabin, Aft cabin with owners cabin and guests cabin and material storage space Cabins: 5 Berth: 14 Bedsize fore ship: Guests cabin starboard: 2.05 x 0.80 m.
