BORA 335 - New in 2015

It has been a long time since Bora 838 was introduced. Positive feedback from our customers encouraged us to widen our offer. Its classic, timeless hull shape has always been appreciated, so we decided to carry it on to the new design, although we also wanted to give it a modern feel. As with the smaller Bora, a long shallow keel with a centreboard is a standard. We strongly believe that this solution expands cruising possibilities.

Many locations, harbours and bays are inaccessible for vessels with a fin keel, and a well-designed and balanced shallow keel with a profiled centreboard provides good stability and excellent seaworthiness.

Furthermore, we decided that we would not impose interior design solutions on our Clients. The standard version would just be a starting point for many possible modifications.

With all ideas combined, old but proven ones and modern but deeply thought-out, we are pleased to present a new vessel – the Bora 335.

This is not just a blown-up version of the 838. Modifications are numerous and not all of them are visible at first glance.

Hull and deck. MODERN TECHNOLOGY AND QUALITY.
The hull is made in vacuum technology using osmosis-resistant isophthalic polyester resins and gelcoats. Bottom: long keel with lead ballast monolithically integrated with the hull, combined with GRP grate, create a solid backbone for the boat. Engine base is welded together with the grate. Bulkheads are mounted on the grate and laminated at both sides. Centreboard case is monolithically laminated in the shallow keel. Profiled centreboard made of GRP. Centreboard blocks supported on acid resistant AISI 316L steel needle bearings. Boards above the waterline are made in sandwich technology using layered PVC foam (Divinycell), which provides additional insulation. As standard, hull and deck are made using white gelcoat, with grey decorative lines above the waterline (also gelcoat). The deck is made in vacuum technology. Bow-deck, mid-deck, coach roof, seats and floor in the cockpit, as well as transom steps are made in sandwich technology using layered PVC foam with closed cells (Divinycell).

Deck and deck hardware. ELEGANCE, DURABILITY, COMFORT.
