The Bora 838 BS is a contemporary Polish-built cruiser designed to bridge the gap between trailerable inland lake boats and coastal-capable yachts. Produced by Bora Yachts, the model is a significant modernization of the Kormoran 05, a classic design by the well-known Polish naval architect Aleksander Powalajew. By refining the hull hydrodynamics and updating the deck layout for modern hardware, the shipyard created a vessel that maintains a traditional, slender silhouette while offering the performance and amenities expected of a modern 28-foot cruiser. Its primary appeal lies in its versatility; with a beam of 2.55 meters, it remains transportable on European roads without special permits, allowing owners to move between the Mazurian Lakes, the Baltic Sea, and the Mediterranean with relative ease.
