A real ocean-going boat, great in the ocean waters off the coast of British Columbia. This boat has gone through many a storm that would have overwhlemed a lesser boat. I would add a bow sprit and a bow thruster.
She is highly suitable for extended motorsailing coastal cruising and also proved her sailing abilities through long passages. Banjer 37 motorsailers can be found as far as in Papua, New Guinea, pretty far away from her original home waters. Find more at http://www.banjer37.net
We love our Banjer! She never fails us, and we leave our regular rag friends in our wake all winter when the wind fails! We also seem to have a lot fewer breakdowns. Amaising since she is 32 years old! We worry about the big windows in the pilot house in rough seas and will probably mount some kind of covers for them for wild situations.

I own my Banjer for 2 years. Used to sail fast yachts (racing)at sea, and never knew that sailing at sea could be so comfortable. A Banjer behaves like a darling, even in the highest seas, she is rather fast for such a strong and heavily built motorsailer (I had a bowsprit mounted)and feels at her best when winds are over 20 knots. This weekend I had over 40 knots at the windmeter between Harlingen and Terschelling (Dutch Waddensea)but with staysail and mizzen we made 5 knots in comfort. Christian Oerlemans, Holland

The Banjer is a very solidly built boat made like a small tanker. She sails better than you would think particularly if a bow sprit is added. The wheelhouse is a super plus to have sheltering you from both the sun and the rain.
