Børresen BB10 BB 10 meter

Description

Borrenson & Borrenson BB 10 meter.
Danish design - built in Florida using the Borrenson molds/designs. If you love the look of a classic wood sailboat but dont want all the work, this boat is your style.
Very fun family day sailer or competitive PHRF racer. Boat can be sailed with one sailor or competitively raced with a crew of three.
Upgraded boom. Running backstays. Eight winches. The mast is the european style that sits on the stainless steel mast step, with exiting blocks for the halyards all made in Denmark. Originally the boat came with thin teak veneer but over time it warps, cracks, splits. We replaced it all with plastteak which is sandable, and low maintenance. And it looks good. Most people cant tell its not real teak.
The boat has a Honda 280 saildrive for motoring, a compact sail drive with Honda power head. Originally the boat did not come with an engine. This has been discretely added without affecting the layout of the boat. The engine is lightweight, and efficient.
The bottom paint is Copper Coat epoxy system sanded fairly smooth . Helps down wind performance a that exposes more copper to keep the algae under control. Supposed to be good for ten years before touch ups.
Borrenson is a Danish sailboat manufacturer - if you are old enough and salty enough you probably remember their Dragons in the old Olympics. This boat was originally built as a family racer. Its fast, its fun, and it looks good too. Very few (probably less than ten) of these boats are in the US. The hull looks a little like an oversized Etchells. If you love the look of a classic wood sailing yacht, you will love this fiberglass boat - all the good looks without all the maintenance.
I bought the boat in 2004 from a guy in San Francisco. The boat movers suddenly cancelled with a weeks notice, so I got a trailer and fetched the boat from San Fran using a friends Chevy truck he was going to trade in. We drove it back to San Diego. Then I spent about two years going through the boat to get it in 'ship shape' and sparing no expense. The boat was pretty much rebuilt at that time - too much to list.
The photo of the boat on the trailer is how I transported it from my house to the yard about two years ago after I redid the bottom with coppercote paint. I wouldnt use an FJ cruiser for transport long distance, but it worked well. The point is, if you wanted to trailer this boat yourself, you can.
Some ask if they can live on this boat. Realistically no. Maybe an overnight stay sleeping below, kind of like camping on the water but it is not suited for living aboard. There is no head but there is a porta potty. There is a forward V berth, and two seats you can sleep on. Some wood cabinets. See the photos, it will give you an idea of the "color scheme" for the interior cushions. We kept it Danish theme, retro.
The boat has a full compliment of Signet Smartpak system gauges (displays depth, wind speed, boat speed, wind direction, boat directio, water temperature, etc). I usually sail by the tell tails, and dont use the gages much but they are there if you want all the whiz bang electronics.
Boat is currently at a private slip in Coronado Cays -- we have a slip at San Diego Yacht Club (slip is not transferable) and sometimes it is there. Able to show you the boat anywhere in San Diego bay.

Any questions - drop me a line with your phone number and I can call you. I am a lousy typist, so that is easier for me.
Someone has asked about sails in the sale:

• I have three mains. One Pentex, one Kevla, and the black sail that is fancy carbon fiber trick material.
• Jibs are 100 (Kevlar) only use in heavy air, 130 Pentex, 150 light Pentex, 155 that is carbon fiber like the main.
• Two mast head spinnakers, a reaching one and a downwind spinnaker . Also a mast asymmetrical sail. A fractional spinnaker for heavy air.
• The Pentax sails are fairly old but are still in good shape. They are pretty heavy and we dont use them to race much in the light air we have in San Diego.
• The carbon sails are from Elliot Patison sails in Newport beach.

Last haul out was May of 2017.

Someone asked about when the last survey was done: I had the boat surveyed when I bought it in San Francisco by Peter Minkowitz. Included is a photo of the boat when I got it from San Francisco (chevy truck with boat on trailer) - you can get an idea of how much work I put into restoring and rebuilding the boat -.

Sorry - no trades, no swaps - I have too many projects now, looking to simplify.

Relisting as the fellow who was going to buy it had the sale of his boat fall through. Then the stockmarket took a nosedive and he had some of his fun money dry up. Yadda yadda yadda -- you get the drill. If you are serious, hit me up. No keel kickers please, serious folks only. Thanks very much.

Someone asked if it has a sink/stove: No, it does not. There was an option to have one pull out on the side of one of the side seats (from the cockpit) but the guy I got it from took it out way back when for better balance, less weight, and frankly since it was not very useful or needed.

Another asked who owned the boat in San Francisco: It was owned by a psychologist guy named Bob, who was a member at Tiberon Yacht Club and the boats name was Aventura III. If you know the boat from those days, you will know how much work and rebuilding I have put into it. I literally have over $70,000 in receipts into this boat. I probably got a little carried away but its a fun boat, easy to do.
