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 looks like a Sparkman & Stevens design from the 1920-1930s era. Wooden spars too. Yikes.
*Airborne* is the one that did it for me.
I love the way WFB goes off into tangents when he writes.
Also, WFB’s spy novels, w/ Blackford Oakes as the protagonist, are wonderful.

Sounds like heaven. Lol. I like trawlers but am not big on the interior of them. I like the interior better on Carver, Hatteras, and even Sea Ray aft cabins. Even when we bought our sailboat I was really picky about the interior. That’s where you spend most of your time so the saloon better be comfy. Nice boat!
Okay. Never mind. Yeah the saloon in that one looks comfy. Nice boat!
