Boat on the port side is also very nice a Hudson Ricci 54
Blimey W, respect!
I don't think anyone else here in the asylum ever heard of such builder, let alone that model - not to mention spotting her from that pic alone.
Have you ever seen one in flesh? Saying that they were beautifully built is an understatement. Up there with the larger SLs of the same vintage, and a notch above Ferrettis, in spite of the fact that her direct competitor (F175) is imho one of the best Ferrettis ever built.
Besides, I never found some of her technical solutions on any other boats of similar and also larger size, like the e/r accessibility from inside the boat and the sea chest for raw water supply.
She would have probably been my 1st choice, if only I could have found a good one.

Is it a coincidence that a Hudson Ricci 54 from Empúriabrava is for sale?
Coincidence in which sense?
All I can tell you is that I emailed the broker more than 2 years ago for that very same boat (twice!), and I've yet to get a reply.
I don't know whether there is an actual boat which is genuinely for sale or not, but if yes, they surely aren't breaking their back to get her sold... :ambivalence:
