Greater Manchester Challenge is a 23-meter ketch rigged sail training yacht. She was built as part of the Ocean Youth Club fleet by the Greater Manchester Maritime Trust, with construction beginning in 1984. She was launched in 1986 and commissioned in 1987, sailing from Liverpool. In the early 1990s she visited Greenland and Iceland and had a major refit in 1998, with Ocean Youth Trust North West (OYTNW) taking over her operation the following year. In 2008 OYTNW merged with Oakmere Community College and Glaciere Diving School to form a £2.5m charity for disadvantaged young people in Merseyside, used, for example, in a programme to reduce knife crime. In 2012 ownership passed to the Morning Star Tust.
