Essenza - the meaning of the journey The journey of a couple - John Pott and Manuela Visani - respectively Australian and Italian, in the construction of their catamaran Essenza. Living an alternative life in North Queensland, in the town of Bowen, at the top of the Whitsundays Islands, the married couple shares their experience in the building process of Essenza while also working and slowing down to the simple things in life in the beautiful area of the Great Barrier Reef. They are following the design plan of the boat builder Peter Snell: a 41 foot catamaran. Their goal is to have an alternative lifestyle living aboard. The movies, once the boat is completed, will show also their very personal experience on board through life and the ocean.
Shown here is my custom designed 40-foot racer/cruiser Soulmates. To get your frozen blood flowing in the midst of the northern hemisphere winter, here are a few clips of Soulmates jib reaching at 10 knots during the 2019 186-mile Block Island Race. Thanks to Rodger Martin who designed the boat and to Eric Goetz who built the boat in 1992, we can sail off the wind at great speeds effortlessly. Her UK Sailmakers Titanium sails have four seasons of distance racing, windward leewards and weeknight races. In a few months these sails will begin their fifth season. I can’t wait.
