SJOSTROM

Bud McIntosh's singular vision shapes every curve and angle of this 2006 Richmond Boat Works creation, from her confident sheerline to the purposeful rake of her mast. SJOSTROM carries herself with the quiet authority that comes from thoughtful proportions—her 29-meter length balanced by a generous 6.71-meter beam that gives her both stability and presence. McIntosh's approach shows in the way her profile reads clean against any horizon, uncluttered by unnecessary details yet rich in the subtle curves that separate serious sailing yachts from mere platforms. Her lines suggest speed even at anchor, with a bow that cuts decisively and a stern that flows naturally into her wake. Richmond Boat Works built her during a period when the yard's attention to traditional construction methods produced vessels meant to handle both calm anchorages and serious passages. With accommodations for eight guests and a three-person crew, SJOSTROM represents sailing in its most refined form—where the beauty lies not in ornament but in the honest relationship between wind, water, and a hull shaped by someone who understood both.
