I used to sail rented boats (I built one as a kid, but it sank on its maiden voyage). Have loved classic (one design) sailboats forever. This is possibly the most beautiful sailboat I have ever seen.
As an aside, my ex-wife's father (one of my favorite people in the world) sailed from childhood. He told me that going to boat shows was almost as good as owning a sailboat. You got all the imagery with none of the expense.
I think that watching a youtube video of a beautiful boat must be almost as good as owning it.
Anyway, here is a video of the Bojar. It is a work of art.
Enjoy.
That’s a very beautiful boat.
Thx for those images.
A neighbor took me out on his all-original 1940 Chris-Craft this summer. What a gorgeous boat and superb ride!
Gorgeous, huh? Listening to the narration, sounds like she handles just wonderfully.
I guess that's why art museums are so popular.
I have never had a burning desire to own a thing, but this boat I might spend much too much to own...and then share her with everyone.
Love at first sight.
That is a pretty craft.
I used to have one of these when I lived in FL
Just a 22 footer but it had a swing up keel and could be pulled behind a pickup truck and put in at pretty much any boat ramp
Does it compare favorably to the Busted Flush??
My father and his architect brother had twin Irwin 37’ center-cockpit Irwin’s in Naples and Key Largo FL, and as I learned to sail on the lakes of northern Indiana when I was 15, sailing in my father’s Irwin was about as close to heaven as it gets when the weather is good.......loved every minute in that boat, large enough for all our kids too........
And Mom & Dad lived in a condo in Naples where their boat was 50’ from their condo in a small bay that put them in the Gulf in 15 minutes or so - don’t get no better than that either........
Nowhere as long and sleek as this beauty, but many truly memorable days sailing.......
And there's something amazingly beautiful in a feminine way about a sailboat.
Looks like a lot of fun.;-)
Well said.
Looks a lot like a Herreshoff design.
We’re cutting loose and sailing away in March. Time to go!
I think the inflatable dinghy on the back sort of ruins the look of this one, but otherwise is gorgeous.
beautiful boat.
As a child and young adolescent I spent a lot of time of family boats, mostly cabin cruisers and day sailors, although there was one 38 foot sail boat in the family that I spent some time enjoying.
Looking back over my life, I am shocked that I didn’t incorporate boats into my adult life, living the coastal life here. I guess I thought that was an ended chapter. Sorry that boats were not more, for who can sail, and not smile?
Considered retiring to a boat, ala the Frugal Retiree. But at forty perhaps, now? Impossible.
