Yes, it’s true, our stunning sailboat is for sale.
We can’t quite believe it either, but after nearly 20 years living aboard her, it’s time for a new challenge. Watch the video (click the video at the end of this post) to find out more about our plans…
In case you didn’t already know, SY Esper is an Oyster 435, the second most popular boat built by Oyster. She has an impeccable pedigree, but what makes Esper special is that she has a coach roof (no bulky deck saloon) and she is a cutter-rigged ketch, the most versatile and the safest sail plan for ocean cruising.
In 2014 we did a massive refit in which we modernised and improved Esper way beyond her original spec. We later added a new Beta 60 engine and a sturdy, hard dodger.
One thing is for certain, we will continue our travels on the water and will carry on regularly documenting them through this blog and on YouTube.
We’re not exactly sure what vessel we’ll be floating on, or where in the world it will be yet, but we hope that by the time we’ve sold Esper, we’ll know what’s ahead.
