Although this Quarter Tonner has had three previous Cork owners, Anchor Challenge has spent the past few seasons in a shed in Cowes on the Isle of Wight, well away from her original moorings.
Happily now, however, the ICRA class champion yacht is back in Crosshaven under new ownership and as our photo above shows she joins a growing Cork Harbour a Quarter Ton movement at Crosshaven and Cobh.
As regular Afloat readers will know, Anchor Challenge's last Cork owner was Paul Gibbons who was good on enthusiasm, and good on performance, taking this classic Quarter Tonner to an overall win in the IRC Europeans at Crosshaven in July 2016.
Cork Harbour's Class Three continues to strengthen for the 2022 season with the arrival of several other good Quarter Tonners in the last two months as Afloat reports here
See Bob Bateman's photos below of Anchor Challenge's last season in Irish waters.
