The Challenge 67 is a steel-hulled ocean racing yacht designed by David Thomas and Thanos Condylis and built by Devonport Yachts in the UK. Fourteen boats were built for The Challenge Business' BT Global Challenge — a round-the-world race against the prevailing winds designed to test amateur crews in the Southern Ocean. The 67 predates and informed the later Challenge 72 design; both share the same design brief for exceptional strength, seaworthiness, and upwind ability in heavy weather. After retiring from the Challenge race series, most of the 67 fleet entered second lives as commercial sail-training, adventure charter, and ocean rally boats, with several completing multiple ARC and transatlantic deliveries.
