The Boat

s/v Positive Waves is a 44' Boreal designed as a go-anywhere sailboat. High latitudes, tropics, coastal cruising, Boreals are safe and sturdy boats designed to transport the crew anywhere in the world they dream of going. 

Why did we choose a Boreal? Because the Boreal 44 ticked all the boxes on our list of attributes in a dream boat. When we were cruising around the Caribbean, being rather salty and uncomfortable, we spent a lot of time dreaming up what our ideal cruising boat we look like. Some important items: fast, tough, leak-proof, an enclosed watch-keeping station, master cabin up front, head at the bottom of the companionway stairs, a bright cabin. 

We never in our wildest dreams planned on commissioning a brand new sailboat. We just wanted something that was a little extra than our 27' sailboat. But then we realized that our voyaging dream wasn't a temporary one, and that the Boreal literally has everything we ever wanted, plus more, and and and. It wasn't too difficult to talk ourselves into the boat. The seamless hull-deck joint sealed the deal. (Pun intended.)
