The Challenge 67 is a steel-hulled yacht. It is 67 ft (20 m) from bow to stern, and this is where it gets its name. There were 14 of these yachts built, for the purpose of racing in the BT Global Challenge.

The yachts were designed by David Thomas and Thanos Condylis, and built by Devonport Management Limited.
