La Boheme is one in a series of William Atkin designed double-enders. This one is the Eric. Modeled after Norwegian rescue boats at the turn of the century, the Eric is said to be “the best boat for the worst weather”. La Boheme’s keel was laid in 1926. She was completed and launched in 1938 out of Victoria, BC and has plied the waters of the North West ever since. Constructed of Port Orford cedar on oak frames, La Boheme is stout, sea-kindly and extremely comfortable as cruiser. We have sailed her extensively throughout the Gulf and San Juan Islands. In 1968, an Atkin Eric was the winner of the first non-stop, solo, round-the-world race. So we’re pretty sure La Boheme will continue to get us safely from pub to pub in the San Juans.
