The Challenge 30 (often referred to as the Challenger 30 in some technical registries) is a versatile foldingarm trimaran that stands as a cornerstone of the Naval Force 3 shipyard’s legacy in La Rochelle, France. Designed by naval architect Pierre Gaubry, the vessel was conceived to bridge the gap between highperformance multihulls and the practical requirements of coastal cruising. Its most defining characteristic is its "swingwing" folding system, which allows the outer floats (amas) to retract against the central hull. This design reduces the beam from a wide, stable sailing platform to a narrow profile compatible with standard marina slips and road trailers. As reported by ActuNautique, the model achieved significant commercial success for the yard, with approximately 25 units produced, including the refined Challenge 30.2 variant.
