Bravo! She's not just a pretty boat
Challenger Bravo 27
If you are interested in sailing and are considering the possibility of buying your first boat, or upgrading from something smaller, you can’t go wrong with this versatile pretty little cruiser. The layout is amazing given her size, every cabin including the heads has its own wooden door which for a boat this size is quite rare, you would be forgiven for thinking that she was far bigger than she is. Her biggest cargo so far is 6 adults for a weekend!
The current owners have owned this cruiser for about 7 years, it was their first boat and with 2 small children they wanted something that would accommodate them knowing that when the children’s bedtime came they could shut them away in their cabin and rest easy that they wouldn’t disturb the kids if they had a few friends aboard for the obligatory sun downer.
This boat is ideal for either those just starting their sailing adventures, it's a great boat for a couple or small family or for the single handed sailor (all lines leading back into the cockpit). She is similar in construction to a Sadler 26 or a small ETAP with the same foam sandwich unsinkable characteristics. The current owners have decided to upsize due to their kids becoming that much bigger (now teenagers). Don’t be drawn into thinking that this is just a cruiser, she is the perfect cruiser racer and has completed the round the island (Isle of Wight) race on a number of occasions, previous owners have taken her on cross channel sailing trips.
Having been newly antifouled and the Yanmar inboard engine serviced in March of this year she is ready to go and has already been out on her first trip of the season! She is equipped with a DSC radio, yearly laundered and stored sails and brand new self tailing winches (summer 2009). The curtains and upholstery have been replaced by the owners since they have had her as well as replacing the manual water system to electric.
