Boréal 47

Boreal will be presenting a 47-footer in Annapolis, the first time the French company has exhibited a boat outside of European waters. The designer, Jean-Francois Delve, sailed with his family for six years on a home-built boat. His boats are borne out of his personal experiences and needs for a cruising boat. The aluminum cruiser, one of four in the current Boreal lineup, all of which are designed for bluewater sailing in comfort and safety, is the result of his wishlist.
