For sale is the renowned Custom Racer Cruiser Sloop, L’ESPRIT D’EQUIPE II. This majestic vessel hails from Marseille, France, and bears a striking resemblance to the legendary L’ESPRIT D’EQUIPE 2, the Whitbread victor of 1986. A round-the-world voyage under her belt with the Honeywell Bull team, this 1982 masterpiece spans a commendable 18.28 meters in length and 5.30 meters in beam. She presents an innovative design and a sleek, extended, flat hull that supports lighter displacement and deeper keel, earning her a prime reputation in the Volvo 60 range. Under the stewardship of its considerate owners since 2015, L’ESPRIT D’EQUIPE II has undergone annual improvement: from hull painting to engine upgrade, from sails efficiency enhancement to the installation of a solar-paneled Bimini top. Not only fast and equipped to win races, this sturdy vessel is a comfortably cushioned sea-home that can swiftly speed up to 17.2 knots and easily exceed 8 knots upwind at 45° from the true wind. With a redesigned kitchen and a well-balanced, seaworthy construct, this gem of a boat provides a winning combination of pace, utility and leisure. Please note that though information is offered in sound faith, we suggest prospective buyers to validate these details through personal representatives or surveyors. The availability of this vessel is subject to changes in price, sale status or withdrawal. Extras include navigation GPS, VHF rig, spinnaker, electronics generator, galley freezer and heating.
Much like L’ESPRIT D’EQUIPE 2, winner of the Whitbread in 1986, L’ESPRIT D’EQUIPE II has also completed a round the world voyage with the Honeywell Bull team. She is incredibly modern and has benefitted from an innovative design and a longer, flatter hull. Her lighter displacement and deeper keel make her a trailblazer in the Volvo 60 range.
Bought by its current owners in 2015, L’ESPRIT D’EQUIPE II has been improved each year: painting of the hull in 2017, more powerful, lighter and quieter engine in 2019, more efficient sails in 2018/20, comfortable bathing ladder on the aft transom (shower), Bimini top with 600 W solar panels, instrument console placed in front of the helm, kitchen redesigned and renewed in 2022, saloon cushions, etc. The boat is fast, she can win races (Juriscup, Trophée Bailli de Suffren, legends regatta, etc.), offers comfort when cruising, and is well equipped. She is well balanced, very seaworthy and built solid and rigid. Its flat hull bottom allows it good surfing (record 17.2 knots), but it also quickly exceeds 8 knots upwind at 45° from the true wind.
