Yacht ESPAR II – Class III RORC
Built and launch in 1968 by the Italian shipyard SANGERMANI. ESPAR II is a beautiful example of cruising racers of the 60s/70s
ESPAR II is owned by the same family since 1973 and sails every summer between Saint- Tropez, where she’s based, and Corsica, Sardinia, Elba, Balearic Islands etc.
ESPAR II is also racing during the most prestigious classic regattas in France such as Les Voiles de Saint Tropez, Les Voiles d’Antibes, Porquerolles’ Classic etc.
Meticulously maintained since she was built, ESPAR II is wonderful cruising and racing boat: fast, powerful on the wind, comfortable and safe, in all weather conditions.
Hull and superstructures are in mahogany and deck refit in teak in 2016.
Mast and standing rigging are new from 2020. Boom is new from January 2022.
