For example, it is safe to say that the Grampian 26 or 23 has looks which only McGruer's mother (or a Grampian owner) could love. But if you're looking for pocket cruisers that will go the distance, like heavy winds and offer standing room, McGruer is the designer you want. One of McGruer's little known gems is the Challenger, of which just over 800 hulls were built in Canada from about 1973 - 1980. The Challenger, at 24 feet and 8' beam, offers 5'11" headroom in the salon and head, a semi private head and v-berth, galley with icebox, sink and plumbing, bunks for six - although four would be more than crowded on a boat this size - and huge storage capacity, especially if it is an outboard version. Some of the later versions offer an anchor locker. A few are found with wheel steering. Many have been retrofitted with furlers. Weighing in at 4000 pounds, the Challenger carries 2090 of that in an iron keel, giving it a ballast ratio of 51%. That translates into a boat which loves heavy winds and will stand up to 20 knots plus under full sail while heeling barely to the rails and roaring along at six knots. Under light winds, you need a 135 - 150 genoa for any respectable performance but this is not a sail you would keep up on her once the winds get above 10 - 12 knots, where you'll furl some of this in. Above this, your working jib will carry the load just fine up to over 20 k. Over 20 knots, you'll reef the main and take in some jib and she'll stay upright and sailing at hull speed. Comments : - Inside winter storage. Outside storage 2008 (shrink wrapped).
