BROKER'S COMMENTS

Johan Anker was an artist in yacht design greatly concerned with the beauty of lines - BOJAR is a boat of such breathtaking and effortless beauty; she genuinely lifts the human spirit and perhaps defining the term ‘classic yacht’. A ballast ratio at approximately 50 / 50 she is an extremely effective sailing boat. Rarely off the podium at any classic regatta – at the RYS Bicentenary Regatta BOJAR proved an equal match for icons DORADE and STORMY WEATHER. In these days of restorations, it is rare to find a boat both so original and in such fine condition. With only a few owners throughout her life – the last but one for 28 years, the short Norwegian sailing seasons with winters in a boat shed will also have helped. BOJAR can be raced with family and friends or easily cruised by just two people - unusual for a yacht of this size and vintage. Highly recommended.

Historical notes

ANKER & JENSEN YARD No. 417 BOJAR was launched in 1937 as ILMEN V and was one of the last designs from the board of Johan Anker. She rates as a 10 metre class yacht, originally launched in 1937 as ILMEN V which was one of the last 90 square metre designs from the board of Johan Anker being built with similar dimensions to a F class 10 metre designed to cruise and race with the metre classes. Anker’s reputation is in part due to his incredible success in International Rule designs, his creation of the iconic Dragon One Design - and of all the famous designers of his era, he was arguably the best helmsman. Anker often watched the offerings of Messrs Fife and Mylne cross the finish line behind him - This “feel” for a boat helped him create some of the fastest and most beautiful designs of any period. BOJAR’s dimensions are similar to the 10 Metre class, but with the slightly greater beam, that her first owner Ludvig Swinndal had requested, in his quest for the perfect cruiser racer. In due course she passed to Ragnvald Jacobsen, re naming her BOJAR, and keeping her from 1941 to 1967. Jacobsen was also a talented helmsman, winning many regattas in the 5.5 and 6 Metre classes.

Construction and finish

BOJAR was built by Anker & Jensen of Oslo, one of the most prestigious yards in Scandinavia using materials and applying craftsmanship of the very highest quality. - Oregon pine 30 mm planking on composite hot dip galvanized steel and wooden frames - Oak keel, stem and stern post - Elm steam bent ribs - Teak deck - Traditional bronze fittings - Faired smooth topsides painted with Awlgrip

Racing notes

BOJAR had a long sailing career in Norway before joining the Solent based fleet of classic yachts in 2012. In Cowes she has participated in the annual Panerai Cowes and Classic Week regattas showing impressive form, which led to an invitation to the RYS Bicentenary in 2015. This event saw BOJAR racing against STORMY WEATHER, DORADE, ARGYLL AND TOMAHAWK as well as 20 of the local English based classics including CETAWAYO, INFANTA, OPPOSITION AND WHOOPER. Fleet and class racing at these regattas saw BOJAR achieve some impressive results against more modern designs both inshore and in the offshore conditions experienced in the Round the Island classic regatta races. This racing programme has provided a spectacular series of photographs that evidence the success of the newly designed sail plans and IRC 0.973 rating optimisation without compromising the originality or integrity of the 1937 build.

Johan Anker 52 ft Flush Deck Cutter 1937

Champagne Conditions in Suffolk!

Post america's cup: although it has been a fantastic journey and congratulations emirates team new zealand, it's now time to drop back down (off the foils) to the reality of the common definition of boats. cytv presents and invites you to watch the recent suffolk yacht harbour classic regatta – the quality of racing, the attendants of so many beautiful classics and owners, absorb the relaxed atmosphere, it might even spur you on to pen this in for next year..

Press the play button above to watch this year's SYH Classic Regatta video.

Jonathan Dyke, Managing Director of Suffolk Yacht Harbour presents the 16th edition of the SYH Classic Regatta. He does this year after year with such warmth and diligence, making the event one of the most unique in the British classic yacht racing calendar. The race officer is both on the button, setting great courses and while showing a great sense of humour. The staff in the Lightship, which is the bar and restaurant that overlooks their marina and that hosts the social events, are hard-working and deliver a never-ending stream of food for the events' hungry sailors.

Jonathan is not only the thread that holds it together to ensure a wonderfully run event but also the link to the array of helpful boat builders at Suffolk Yacht Harbour . Specialising in classic restoration, SYH's boat building team have, as always, contributed in significant ways to helping owners overcome some difficult snags ahead of the event. In the film CYTV talked to Andy Easdown, who owns Sparkman & Stephens 41ft sloop ILLIRIA, a regular entrant to the Panerai British Classic Yacht Club Regatta in Cowes: "...we had a really difficult year this year to get to the start line.... Every year we seem to have something that causes a problem before the start." He goes on to explain the shaft and engine needed attention a couple of years ago, which the yard at SYH sorted out. This year he explains, he found rot in the mast.

"So the mast had to come back out, a massive repair, Robert the shipwright made a beautiful job of it. We got it [the mast] back in on the Thursday, rigged the boat on the Friday, we were at the start line at 11 O'clock this morning. So we always seem to be cutting things fine but the yard are tremendous in the way they've helped us."

– andy easdown.

Being a one-stop shop is essential at SYH. At many classic regattas in Europe and beyond, you'd find yourself having to move your boat "around the corner" or even further afield to be fixed and racing at once. SYH have on-site two chandleries including a traditional chandlery – Classic Marine as well as shop, engineers, marine electricians, riggers and sail makers – One Sails – who were actually on hand in case anyone needed help and repairs at the regatta.
