BORA 838 – timeless design

Both models of BORA – fin keel and the long keel/centerboard combination, can cruise all inland basins, as well as the North Sea, Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean.

A beam of 2.55 m makes it possible to transport the boat on European roads without any special permits. In effect, one gains access to a great variety of basins, without the necessity to compromise pleasure and comfort.

Naturally, while building the most important elements, such as the hull and deck, we applied gelcoats and topcoats based on isophthalic resins, as well as powder fiber mats and fabrics, thus meeting EU standards and ensuring a maximum protection against osmosis.

Deck space is carefully planned in order to facilitate maneuverability both in harbor and in the open waters for a single person or a limited crew.

The arrangement of the interior makes an even a few-weeks long holiday onboard a real pleasure.

• Main cabin height 1.8m

• Comfortable bathroom with sink and toilet (shower installation possible)

• Numerous and spacious lockers for all stowage needed during long cruise
