OGHAM YACHTS by Bord à Bord A New Reference in Custom Aluminum Sailing Yachts

Press release – August 2025

For over two decades, Bord à Bord shipyard—based in Brittany, France—has been a trusted name in the design and construction of high-quality aluminum vessels, including service boats (for diving, passenger transport, etc.) and sailing yachts. Today, the shipyard proudly announces the launch of OGHAM Yachts, a new brand dedicated to long-distance cruising sailboats that combine elegance, performance, and a spirit of adventure.

A New Generation of Blue-Water Cruisers – Fully Customizable

OGHAM Yachts introduces two production models designed for offshore sailing. These aluminum yachts combine seaworthiness, strength, and style—offering a robust foundation that’s fully customizable to meet the unique expectations of each owner.
OGHAM 54 – A revolutionary monomaran, offering exceptional interior volume, remarkable stability, and ultimate comfort for life on board.

IROISE 48 – A fast, modern cruiser with timeless lines—reliable and elegant. The first unit is currently navigating the Norwegian coast.
Each series yacht can be tailored to match its owner’s cruising plans, with flexible layouts, finishes, and onboard equipment.

What Sets OGHAM Apart: The One-Offs – 100% Custom-Built

Beyond its series models, OGHAM Yachts offers a truly bespoke approach. Every one-off project is a blank canvas, co-designed hand-in-hand with the owner. From hull lines to interior design, no detail is off-limits.

“There could be as many sailboats as there are sailors. Our mission is to bring each project to life—no matter how ambitious.”

Spotlight on Recent One-Off Builds
LifeSong 78 – A polar expedition sailboat designed for extreme environments, with 7 cabins, 6 bathrooms, a 360° panoramic saloon, sauna, lifting keel, and reinforced hull for ice navigation.
Isméria 45 – A comfortable deck saloon yacht designed for full-time living. Features include a single level between cockpit and saloon, large panoramic windows, and even an integrated piano.

French Craftsmanship, Global Ambition

OGHAM Yachts is more than a brand—it’s a new standard in long-distance aluminum sailboats, built for those who dream beyond the horizon.
