Profile
Challenge III is a member of the 1985 Australian Admiral's Cup Team. She was built in 1984 and was shipped to Hawaii for the Clipper Cup Series untried, her results there being mediocre. She was worked up for the Admiral's Cup trials, and she was a popular selection, but her performance was not outstanding. She retired from last year's race after sustaining damage, but Skipper Lou Abrahams is a very keen competitor and will have Challenge III among the leaders.
Member of the Australian Southern Cross Cup team.
