Challenger Barrier Reef Talisman 1979
For sale is my 1979 Callenger Talisman. 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.

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 and fitings. Alot of history onboard. A very capable and solid boat for short handed sailing and extended cruising.
