I was wondering the boats were in a seaway? I am looking at a boat and wondering at things I should really look at for trouble and keys to the boats. Any help would be great?

Challengers handle well.

I say that after several years of sailing one on the coast of Maine and New England. In a seaway, like any boat they need to be sailed so as to mimimize the effects but it seems like a good all around design for coping with different conditions.

I'd check the site for various problems these boats are prone to, most are covered here.

What boat are you looking at?
