Challenge 72

An opportunity to own one of the ultimate unbreakable sailing yachts on the planet at a modest price. After major damage she is being repaired to Category 0 and will be good to go in 2015. http://www.challengebusiness45.com/.

CHALLENGE BUSINESS 45 (Formerly BIG SPIRIT) is a 72ft steel sailing yacht built at the Devonport yards, in 2000, specifically to provide the safest platform for 18 people from all walks of life to come together as a team and complete what was billed as the toughest yacht race in the world; sailing around the world against prevailing winds and currents.

Challenge Business commissioned 12 identical yachts to be built based on all the experience they had gain from already running the 1992 and 1996 Global Challenge races with the original 67ft design. The new 72ft class was built to be stronger, safer, faster and more comfortable to sail and live aboard.

CHALLENGE BUSINESS 45 has a very good record, having completed two safe and successful round the world races (BT Global Challenge 2000/1 and the Global Challenge 2004/5), winning the last race in 2004/2005 and is still the holder of the class record for the round the island race on the south coast.
