https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/593/BORDER%20LEGEND BORDER LEGEND is a resurrected masterpiece from the sunset days of traditional #yachtbuilding in #Britain; when finely-built wooden yachts were still just about the norm, and their designers and #builders could call on a century or more of handed down skills. BORDER LEGEND's design by George McGruer is a natural #evolution from the renowned work of his father, James, and her build was by the last generations of a highly skilled workforce managed by the wider #McGruer family from the 1890s into the early 2000s. Among the last wooden yachts designed and built there in the early 1970s were three wholesome, elegant and fast 49-55 ft ketches. While the ocean passagemaking exploits of CUILAUN and TALISKER MHOR (ex CERESIO) have become legendary, their smaller sister, BORDER LEGEND (launched as GLORY B IV for furniture manufacturer W.J. Barton of Cheshire, later Hampshire), remained under the radar: a bona fide family cruiser, latterly Solent-based. Circumstances saw her fall on hard times before recent rescue and a major refit under current, experienced ownership - so that one of the finest, last generation wooden #yachts is now available for the pure enjoyment - and it can only be that - of her next owner.

So grateful for this life! Whales, dolphins, fresh fish and amazing sunsets every day! 9 years ago every single person around me said I was crazy sailing 2000nm from the Netherlands to Ibiza in winter on a 28ft boat with no experience. Experienced sailors said I wouldn’t even make it to Belgium (our neighbor country) And look at my life now. Still no money on my account (16 dollars now to be honest) but I wouldn’t want to chance my life for anything. I’ve got the most beautiful house to travel the world with, meeting amazing people daily and have adventures and experiences that no money can’t buy. Big shout out to all my sponsors that make it possible to pay for my boat maintenance so I can safely cross oceans and replace materials and products that the salt water and sun love to destroy. I think and appreciate you every day looking at my beautiful sails. (I still have two big spots left on the Genoa if anyone is interested) Have a amazing day everyone and know that you can change your life for the good every day. No matter what other people say. Nobody knows your struggles or pain like you do, nobody know what makes you happy but you. So follow your guts, go for that dream, aim to become the most happy version of yourself!
