Essence 33 (2019) For sale

This Essence 33, LARGO, is far more than a beautiful daysailer. Designed by renowned Dutch naval architect André Hoek and built in the Netherlands to an exceptionally high standard, she combines timeless elegance with genuine performance and modern technology. She features an epoxy/carbon composite sandwich construction hull, flush teak-laid decks, a low teak-laid coach roof, an unusual large teak-laid cockpit with a generous aft sunbathing area. Under sail, LARGO truly comes into her own. Her powerful rig features a carbon-fibre mast and carbon-fibre boom, rod rigging, carbon-fibre bow sprit, and a Reckmann hydraulic system controlling the backstay, boom Vang and outhaul. Her high-performance North Sails wardrobe comprises a main sail, two gennakers, a G Zero and a furling jib. The deck layout has been carefully designed to remain clean and uncluttered, with lines led discreetly below deck and pop-up cleats maintaining the sleek appearance. She is also equipped with a 20hp diesel engine with low engine hours, folding prop, Lithium battery, charger, Mastervolt Czone electronic switching system, B&G navigation suite, covers, bimini top, cushions, and more.

Saying that LARGO is simply another beautiful daysailer does not do her justice. She is one of those boats that makes people look twice as she enters a harbour. She offers exceptional performance. She is classic and timeless, yet unmistakably modern. She has an elegance and presence that is difficult to replicate. We think it is fair to say that LARGO is the Bentley of daysailers.

The Essence 33 naturally prioritises sailing performance and outdoor living. Nevertheless, she provides beautifully crafted and surprisingly comfortable accommodation, with a V-berth forward, single berths either side of the companionway, a sink with water tap and an electric toilet. There is also ample storage for sailing gear and equipment in the numerous lockers. LARGO has been fitted out with quality throughout, is presented in immaculate condition and has been carefully used and maintained. In short: race-bred performance wrapped in timeless elegance. She sails as beautifully as she looks — and she is an absolute gem.
