Spirit 52 © Spirit Yachts Length overall: 15.90 m or 52 ft 2 in Length waterline: 11.20 m or 36 ft 8 in Beam: 3.40 m or 11 ft 2 in Draft: 2.20 m or 7 ft 3 in Displacement: 8,800 kg or 19,400 lb Engine: 40 hp Upwind sail area: 92.90 m² or 1,000 sq ft Cabins: 2 Berths: 4-6 persons The Spirit 52 represents a magnificent milestone for the British shipyard, debuting as a highly successful racing monohull designed by founder Sean McMillan to blend a timeless aesthetic with raw competitive performance. The hull is handcrafted using wood-epoxy composites with robust cedar planking overlaid by rich mahogany ringframes and veneers to maximize structural strength while keeping displacement exceptionally low. Optimized with a sleek underwater profile and minimal wet surface area, the platform is built to catch light winds efficiently and can confidently reach a top speed of sixteen knots when pushing hard downwind under an asymmetric spinnaker. The deck arrangement is explicitly engineered for fast short-handed management or precise crew coordination, leaving all essential running rigging led cleanly aft to a secure cockpit layout. Equipped with a high-aspect fractional rig, advanced carbon fiber spars, and nitronic rod rigging, the vessel delivers immense stability and fine-tuned rudder feedback when heavily heeled under a large sail plan. Below deck, the space-efficient arrangement features white bulkheads contrasted by solid wooden joinery to establish a bright, sophisticated coastal manner atmosphere that comfortably accommodates up to six guests across two private en-suite cabins and the main saloon. This custom performance masterpiece provides a premier choice for serious yachtsmen seeking racing pedigree, commanding a market value of 1.5 million US dollars. #Spirit52 #ClassicSailing #WoodenYacht #HarbourMasters

We’d neglected our dinghy, the Miss Annemarie, during our run south. Now that we’re back in our home port of Solomons, we’ve lowered her into the water and given her a good workout in Back and Mill Creeks before treating her to a well‑deserved rinse.

Il video di oggi è un po’ particolare. Anziché del diario di bordo, parla di un diario di viaggio. Quello che stiamo compiendo proprio in questo periodo e che amiamo raccontare attraverso dei video. Come quello uscito oggi, qui su YouTube.
