Profile
Challenge II is an S&S design built of aluminium in 1979 for Lou Abrahams who, on his 20th attempt, won the Hobart Race with this yacht. She has had an illustrious career in ocean racing, winning many classy events and perhaps capable of winning many more. It would be ironic if new owner Peter Rowsthorn managed to beat Lou's new Challenge .
