Esper Refit - ESPER LAUNCHES!

[demonboy]

Finally, after one year and one month, the refit is complete and Esper is back in water. We managed to get some drone footage of the moment Esper was trundled down the track too.

It was pretty hectic, especially as the yard decided to haul out eight fishing boats just before Chinese New Year - the exact time we wanted to go in.

Glad you persevered in re fitting her. I remember you thinking about buying an AWB, which I am sure would not have suited your purposes at all.

good luck and good sailing!

You have certainly been single minded and very patient!! Let's hope it all works as planned. And best of luck with your future passagemaking.
I too found the videos interesting and informative.

Congratulations on the relaunch!! As fellow Oyster 435 owners we have been following Esper's refit on YouTube with great interest and enjoyment - you have certainly given us a lot to think about. We're in Morocco at the moment but maybe we'll be able to meet up with you one day!
