Challenger 36 Pilothouse Talisman 1979
For sale is my 1979 Callenger Talisman Cutter Sloop. Built in Willmington CA, it has sailed around the world, spending some time in Fiji and up and down the East coast of Australia. She is a solid blue water cruiser, stable and a joy to sail. OZ is handcrafted internally with solid American timbers. Providing 17 large brass portholes giving the boat an open airy feel whilst on anchor.
She is setup to sail or motor long distances. The cockpit seats 10 and is well covered from sun and foul weather.
Oz projects loads of character and would suit a first time buyer wanting to dip their toes in the water, lean off the bowsprit and enjoy the pleasures of sailing.

Remarks
This is our first boat and found to to be a terrific way to dip the toe in without blowing a massive budget. Head room 192cm. Plenty of tools, fixtures and fittings. Alot of history and invoices onboard. A very capable and solid boat for short handed sailing and extended cruising.
