Profile
Challenge II was built for well-known yachtsman Lou Abrahams, who in 1983 became the first Victorian to win a Hobart race. Under Abrahams, Challenge represented Australia and Victoria in Clipper Cup and Southern Cross events. Current owner Peter Rowsthorn has been in charge for a couple of years now and has maintained the competitive edge of this boat.
