There are some boats that, more than others, make us dream. Joshua evokes Moitessier ‘s exploits as Calypso reminds us all of Commander Cousteau‘s documentaries. But why does a boat make us fall in love? It’s not the lines or the design of the deckhouse, it’s not the wins or its speed, it’s all about the heart.
Once landed, 99 percent of sailors like to take a tour of the harbor to see which boats will keep their beauty company for at least one night. It is a matter of enthusiasm; like a child who swoons over the toy he has always wanted we sailors often settle for just a picture from the dock with the boat whose history and exploits you know by heart behind you.
In this video we have chosen 30 ageless boats that excite and unite hundreds of thousands of sailors around the world. The basis from which we start is an article in the Journal of Sailing in which we examine not 30 but 100 boats of all types and sizes that have made sailing history and still thrill today.
