Conceived as a premier highlatitude, shorthanded passagemaker, the Bougainvillaea 62 represents a masterclass in custom aluminum yacht construction. Designed by the celebrated naval architect Chuck Paine and built by Canada’s Kanter Marine, the vessel made an immediate impact upon its debut, earning the prestigious Offshore Cruiser of the Year title in 1991. Influenced heavily by singlehanded ocean racing designs of the late 20th century, Paine drew a yacht with an exceptionally long waterline, a narrow beamtolength ratio, and narrow stern sections. These features combine to maintain a balanced helm as the boat heels, avoiding the heavy steering loads common in wider, flatterstern cruising yachts of the era. The vessel’s robust 5083H116 aluminum alloy hull and deck form a unified, highstrength watertight structure engineered to withstand physical impacts, making it highly coveted by world cruisers seeking a bulletproof alternative to standard fiberglass hulls.
