At the end of Jan 2016 we exhibited with Essence Yachts showcasing our 55 and 66 which were very well received. Its a great show and we look forward to Jan 2017 when we will have out own area. If you are in the market for a 30 foot day sailer look no further than the Essence 33 – really nice boat with those classic Hoek lines, beautifully built and and a nice team of people.

Firstly apologies for the time off line – it has nothing to do with lack of progress on the 55 where the build is still proceeding very well and we are still aiming to launch the boat in June 2016 which will mean a 16 month build – she is going to be an absolute beauty. The interior is well underway and we expect to finish this by the end of March and then it will be a hard month of fairing, fairing and more fairing and then finally the lovely white and teak interior will appear. The systems side is progressing well, the engine is in, tanks and most of the wiring and we will start in earnest on this in the coming weeks. The teak deck work will start very shortly in terms of cutting of the strips. The Hall Carbon rig is due to be shipped shortly and will be with us by the end of March.
