This 72 ft.Steel yacht " Sarah " came alongside St. Mary's Quay this evening. She was built with three other identical yachts by Chay Blyth fo the Non stop Round the the World the "Wrong Way" race. The Tall Ships Challenger Fleet yachts are 22 metre (72 foot) steel hulls built in 2000 and designed to race around the world ''the wrong way'' (against prevailing wind and tide), so are exceptionally strong and seaworthy. There are four yachts in the Challenger fleet and they are operated by the Tall Ships Youth Trust. This one has done the Around the World twice..........Robin Mawer
