Charger is the famous 1993 class winning Whitbread 60 'Yamaha' the boat that proved once and for all that 60ft was the definitive length for an open ocean racing boat.  

She's still as tough as nails, literally bullet-proof (she is built of Kevlar:) Yamaha/Charger has  been reawakened and rebranded by Spartan Ocean Racing after a long, long  sleep in the sun in Long Beach, California. She's still the same boat but like 'Challenger' she is now modified to allow greater access for our race teams to all that lovely speed without needing a full pro Volvo team to make it happen Ah! furling headsails and spinnakers- how we love thee.  

Charger will go into service serving the West Coast of North America and Mexico, providing sailors of all skill levels the opportunity to sail, not only on a fantastic 60ft race boat but on the mother all Volvo race boats.  Charger will compete in some of the West Coast's most famous race events such as Vic-Maui, Transpac, Ensenada Race, Pacific Cup, Valarta Race & Mexorc to name but a few.  

Come join us and take the wheel of a legend.
