The Challenger 24 is a Canadian sailboat that was designed by Alex McGruer and first built in 1973.[1][2]
Production
The design was built by Challenger Yachts in Canada, but it is now out of production.[1][3]
Design
The Challenger 24 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a vertical transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces Шаблон:Convert and carries Шаблон:Convert of ballast.[1]
The boat has a draft of Шаблон:Convert with the standard keel fitted.[1]
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering, although the design originally specified an inboard Renault diesel engine.[1]
The accommodation includes a forward "V"-berth, a semi-private head, a convertible dinette table that can be used as a berth and a quarter-berth aft.[4]
Variants
- Challenger 7.4 and 7.5
- Model built from 1974 to 1980, with 800 examples completed. Otherwise similar to the Challenger 24.[5]
Operational history
In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "it is one of those sailboats which attempts to provide full standing headroom in the cabin for the least possible money. It may not be the best built, or nicest looking, or the fastest sailboat around, but it's probably one of the least expensive model that can be found on the used market with standing headroom."[4]
