Boojum was built on Bristol Channel Pilot cutter hull, but crafted for a gentlemen’s yacht<br />
This 62′ Classic cutter Boojum (47′ without bowsprit) is an amazing opportunity to own a piece of sailing history and has been consistently updated and recently underwent an extensive refit. Boojum is ready to go sailing and win races!<br />
Built in 1909 by W. E. Thomas in Falmouth, UK, the 62′ classic cutter Boojum is rigged with a topmast and has a carvel hull of pitch pine on oak frames and was originally fitted with a BMC 44kw diesel engine. Her current engine is a 2013, 75hp beta with just 320 hours on her.<br />
On the original papers S/Y Boojum was commissioned by Mr. Buckley Haed, Permanent Address Garlick Club London, Occupation ‘Gentlemen’. Built in 1909, she was designed off the lines of a pilot cutter but was made sleeker and narrower with lines of yacht which was her intended purpose as a Gentleman’s Yacht.<br />
The name Boojum comes from Lewis Carrol’s Alice in Wonderland story ‘Hunting of the Snark’
