The lines drawing for the Challenger was done by RMW but Niels Helleberg does not know who that is. Does anyone know who RMW might be?

Alden Caravelle 42 / Northern European waters
What a good question; amazing it hasn't arisen before. If Niels doesn't know, it's going to be a tough one to answer...

Niels told me that Clifford Swaine, who worked for the company from the 1920's through 1970's, drew the Caravelle.

Googling Clifford Swaine + Alden reveals a lot more about him than it would have even 5 years ago. Including:
