A Proven Ocean Warrior - Are you ready to take Her for another Adventure
Unbreakable. Legendary. Purpose-Driven.
This isn’t just a sailboat - it’s a legacy. The Devonport Challenge 67, designed by David Thomas and built by Devonport Yachts (DML) to Bureau Veritas' highest standards, was born for one purpose: to sail around the world against the prevailing winds - strong, fast, and safe.
I AM OCEAN, hull # - , embodies this mission like few others can. With an epic pedigree of global circumnavigation, military sail training, and modern-day scientific expeditions, she’s now available at a rare price point of $110,000 - a serious opportunity for adventurers, researchers, or non-profits seeking a bulletproof expedition platform.
Highlights:
Designed for the BT Global Challenge - sailed "the wrong way" around the world
Steel-hulled, expedition-class yacht with robust, easy-to-maintain systems
Built for safety, comfort, and strength in the harshest ocean environments
Proven expedition vessel: used from 2017 - present for scientific missions
History of elite ownership: UK Ministry of Defense & Challenger LLC
Customizable interior layout - construction allows for simple modifications
