Challenger Ketch - Challenger Ketch

Soft Parade is a 1975 Challenger Ketch, American built of heavy duty fiberglass
construction. Her long keel with internal lead ballast, wide beam and shallow draft make her a
seakindly, solid cruising boat, capable of crossing oceans or taking her crew to Catalina for the
weekend.

Equipped with radar, depth, GPS, and autopilot, she is capable of sailing in all weather. Her
dodger and custom companionway seat provide a secure, comfortable place to stand watch while
the autopilot or windvane keep course. Other deck improvements include custom stainless steel
grab rails and a full stainless steel pulpit surrounding the cockpit. Replacing the cockpit
lifelines with stainless tubing increases safety while providing a secure platform should larger
solar panels ever be desired.

Set up for cruising or day sailing, her spacious cabin feels like a much larger boat,
and can accommodate six adults comfortably. With a well-appointed galley, the cook will keep the crew happy as well.  Under motor she will be  pushed with a large 50 hp Nissan diesel
