Hello,

Below are a few questions for those Alden Challenger, current and previous, owners. Thanks!
  • How tall is the main mast, from keel step to top? (current owner doesn't know and I have to see if my current yard can store / step it)
  • Any known issues with the centerboard or has anyone had trouble with theirs?
  • What is your least favorite thing about the Challenger, or, what has given you the most trouble over the years?
  • What is your favorite thing about the Challenger / why do you love it?
-Pete
