'Andante' is a desirable pilothouse model of the highly regarded Challenger 36' series, known for their sea handling abilities and generous accommodation. She has been well maintained throughout her life however the owner's changed circumstances necessitate this sale.
Constructed of GRP/end grain balsa sandwich the yacht shows no signs of suffering structural damage. The vessel and its equipment shows every sign of having been well maintained by conscientious owners over its life.
Her design is typical of the pilothouse style with full headroom throughout. Cabin entry from the cockpit is via several easy steps into a spacious interior with large glass windows ensuring all around, full multihull style visibility. With a generous, enclosed aft cabin to starboard, a comprehensive internal helm station just in forward, then down a step to the galley. The port side features a roomy settee lounge with seating for 6 with a drop-down dinette table (the perfect sea berth). Opposite the Galley on the port side is a generous meal serving station with refrigeration. This area is also ideal for use as a chart table when underway.
Forward to port are the Heads with vanity, hot & cold shower and electric toilet. The forward cabin serves as the master cabin with double bed and loads of cupboards.
'Andante' is ideally suited to cruising Tasmanian waters with her sheltered internal and external navigation stations or a comfortable coastal cruiser for cruisers seeking the warmer waters of the Barrier Reef. For those looking for an alternate lifestyle 'Andante' makes the perfect live-aboard.
