Notes: Diesel available as an option. Also available as a ketch. Challenger Yachts Corp. was located at Wilmington CA, USA and ceased operations in 1980. Not to be confused with Challenger Yachts Ltd, which was a Canadian firm. A later boat, the TALISMAN 37, (builder unknown) seems to be based on this same design.(bowsprit added).
