Boreal Yachts
French aluminium long-distance sailing yachts.
Boréal Yachts SAS is a French builder based in Minihy-Tréguier, Brittany. The brand describes a programme of aluminium sailing yachts for long-distance travel and shows the current range as Boréal 44.2, 47.2, 56 and 70.
The official Boréal 56 page presents the model as the successor to the Boréal 52, 55 and 55 OC. It credits Jean-François Delvoye for architecture and design and lists a 17.12 m length overall, a 4.94 m beam and a variable 1.20/3.18 m draught. It also describes a reworked cockpit, deck saloon and circulation to the bathing platform. These details offer a documented example of the Boréal approach but belong to the 56, not automatically to the other models in the brand’s range. The same care applies to statements about materials and destinations: the official site says the boats are aluminium long-distance yachts, while model-level arrangement, draft and equipment remain specific.
Boréal's aluminium sailing yachts are conceived for long-distance travel, and the current fleet spans the 44.2 through the 70. Their shared material and cruising orientation do not erase differences in crew demands and onboard volume.
An owner should compare the sailing arrangements, protection, storage and systems access needed for the intended passages. The smaller and larger Boréal models offer different balances between manageability and living capacity, so the route and regular crew should decide the shortlist before interior preferences do.
