Boleh means ‘can do’ in Malay and it is this ‘can do’ philosophy which has driven the Boleh Trust, first to restore Boleh and then to put her back to work, restoring self-confidence, developing teamwork and rebuilding lives. This website describes the sailing projects delivered by Boleh and tells her amazing ‘can-do’ story.
Boleh herself is a 40ft historic junk yacht built in Singapore by Malay shipwrights and sailed to Salcombe, Devon with a Naval crew in 1950 by her owner and designer, Commander Robin Kilroy DSC. Re-launched in 2015 and MCA-coded, Boleh now provides a unique sailing experience for those who will benefit most.
Please explore the website and read about Boleh’s role helping others and the major events in her life, from launch in 1949 to her recommissioning for Charitable Service in 2022 by HRH the Princess Royal.
