BOREN - A film about sailing & wooden boats.

Boren, the boat has an incredible story. From the East coast to the Bahama's and all the way to Alaska, she's seen it all. She sailed through hurricanes, ran into a coral reef, broke the boom and keel and yet still survives in all her artistic beauty. Boren now resides with a crafty sailor in the San Juan islands of the pacific northwest. This is her story. A story about sailing.

What a great coastline. What a great boat!

[@johnmarsden7799]

I once owned Kingscruser #9 an all mahogany 28 ft. sloop, beautiful boat. Sold her in the early 1980’s, but the fond memories still remain. There’s something about the way a wood boat, with a teller moves through the water, makes you feel connected.

Beautiful film about a beautiful boat that is being well taken care of! I can see the same joy in his eyes when he's talking about the boat as I feel more mine, great work from everyone involved in the making of this piece. I'm really surprised at the size of the interior of the boat, head room most of all which wasn't all that common in those days.

[@PhilVanNuf_Body_and_ArtCreator]

Explaining sailing and the feeling it gives is not easy but you did it perfectly with a beautiful boat and even beautiful heart. Just whoow, and keep sailing BOREN

[@spreadingrumors]

Great film, classic boat! I used to sail up to the San Juan's from the south sound on my bud's 40' Choi Lee, the Hardswell (TYC). Only difference that I can see is he's got a wheel. Being birds of a feather, you've probably seen, or have been rafted to it. Anyway; fair winds and following seas. :)

Well, an artfully told tale of a beautifully designed and crafted vessel. Thanks to all; most inspirational.

So glade this boat found this man its an amazing boat that needed a owner like him

[@thomas_pettersen]

Great video, and nice boat! In Norwegian "Børen" may mean two things: 1 A burden, to carry something heavy, have a heave load, either physically or mentally. 2. Sail wind, where we say "motbør" which means wind against you. Or "medbør" which means wind with you. Motbør and medbør, can also be used to describe how life is going.

[@thomaselliott573]

this guy is definitely a burden to one's sanity with his petty self indulgence.

[@mountaingrownmedia8128]

I love it! Thanks for the breakdown!

[@stefflus08]

Yeah but it's the same thing. The ship is the burden and the wind carries it. Or rather bears the burden.

[@keernhaslem1845]

OM off the hook G, Bevan Waite, you’ve created a tribute here that is unfathomably glorious! It spans generations, of family and sailors.

[@clintonvargas5050]

Well filmed/edited video. No actual sailing footage because you would be lucky if 1% would show a comfortable onboard environment. Truth is these old designs are lovely sailing on a nice flat sea for a few hours, but crossings and general cruising is a wet, cramped and uncomfortable existence. Much like the next time you take a horse and carriage non stop for 6-7 days, which you didn't, unless self flagellation or extreme nostalgia is what you are into. Keep the romance alive guys! Someone out there will fall for it....

[@georgeburns7251]

Clinton doesn’t even have a boat. But he reads Sailing magazines and watches others sail. Poor Clinton. Idiot.

[@clintonvargas5050]

​@@georgeburns7251 You are right on a few points, I don't currently own a boat and have read the odd sailing magazine and have watched others sail (how about that America's Cup!). However I have done some sailing, 60,000+ offshore sea miles (mainly sailing, cruising not racing) as a skipper. 5 Atlantic Crossings, 2 Pacific, as far north in the Atlantic as Svalbard, the Aleutians in the Pacific and as far south as New Zealand. Lived aboard for 8 of the last 12 years, delivered all types of mono hull yachts, mainly in the 45-65ft range. Happy for you to explain which of my previous comments you think were wrong...

[@clintonvargas5050]

And please do better than an uniformed personal attack....

[@richardcrockatt609]

Lovely boat, superbly maintained, and you are blessed with beautiful cruising ground. Worth mentioning that the Lion Class was designed and built first in the UK in 1950, though the designer, Arthur Robb, was born in New Zealand. The Cheoy Lee ones are special, like the Laurent Giles Vertues which they also built, because they used teak for the hull. Do you have an engine as an auxiliary or are you truly engineless?

[@mountaingrownmedia8128]

Norwegian I believe - means "sailing wind"

[@HeyImAndrew...]

In the opening scene, why are you underway but still have your anchor ball day shape in the rigging??

[@davidlansky3904]

That is a radar reflector, not an anchor ball.

The only thing is to improve tacking, jib sheet was slackened too fast, so jib started to flitter - it shouldn't

[@shanedarden369]

Difference between motor boating and sailing... is... When you sail.. you have to submit.. Become a partnership with the world around you!! There is such peace in the world. That is so much easier to find, when you stop trying to control everything... LET GO

[@onefodderunit]

Learned to sail at summercamp on Orcas Island back in '72. Don't understand the compulsion to highlight a homosexual flag in a video about sailing a wooden boat.

[@805gregg]

Too bad it's an old design, with a short waterline length, and long overhangs, sailboat design has come a long way since this was built, longer waterlines of newer boats mean faster boats, I would never buy an old out of date design, why??

[@georgeburns7251]

You obviously do not even own a boat. Another wannabe.

[@directorstu]

Modern boats and materials have their advantages but are generally designed for light weight to strength ratio and high volume/accommodation. Note the narrow beam and deep keel of this vessel. This is the evolutionary result of centuries of sea vessel design, mostly all weather fishing ships. She will track through the water better, won't slam, isn't tender (too tippy). I have a high volume plastic boat and I love her. But let's admire this classy lady as a classic beauty with design characteristics that will get you safely through the storm.

[@andyzacek9760]

Cheesy crap. Takes nothing but money to sit down on Orcas and buy a beautiful boat and while away the summers. Not impressed lol

[@andyzacek9760]

The real legendary wooden boat story of Orcas Island is App Applegate and his Approximada! Gigantic handmade wooden boat built from an iron W-beam on the slopes of Mount Constitution, still rotting up there in the forest after App died at almost 100 yrs old, still putting the finishing touches on it to his dying day.

This boat is made in Hong Kong! Famous shipbuilder. 財利
