Essence 33 is a 33 ′ 2 ″ / 10.1 m monohull sailboat designed by Hoek Design and built by Essence Yachts (NL) starting in 2010.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Area Jib: 28.0 m2/301 sqft. Area Main: 28.0 m2/301 sqft. Masthead Spi: 93.0 m2/990 sqft.

This 33' Pilot Classic daysailer Essence 33 is being series-built by Essence Yachts in the Netherlands. The first one is delivered in 2012 and already seven yachts are built up to date. Hull no. 4 of the E33 was sold to the US and is sailing in New York waters what attracted attention and make the sale of hull no. 5. Recently hull no. 6 is delivered to her new owners and as a rare occasion, hull no 7 is immediately available for sale.  The Essence 33 is built using epoxy in a female mould. With a very large cockpit and expansive sunbathing area, this design still provides ample space in the interior for several bunks and a toilet. With Mastervolt electric propulsion and a carbon mast and boom, this 33-foot yacht is executed to a level of quality more reminiscent of a superyacht, and offers excellent value. The yacht is nominated as for European Yacht of the Year 2014 and has won the Boat of the Year award in the sailing yacht category at the HISWA Amsterdam Boat Show.

We work primarily with hightech materials such as carbon, which is not only lightweight but also beautiful and strong.

The Essence is one with the fanatic sailor, who also wants to enjoy the good life. The exterior is prepared for spectacular sailing perfomance, but is also perfect for a sunny, lazy afternoon with one less sail in the bay. The seating comfort is excellent and is characterized by a natural nonchalance, with taut pillows in stylish shades. The teak deck has white accenting lines. Overall, simplicity dominates: what normally a lineage disturbs, has been eliminated, so nothing distracts the attention from the boat. The most important part is that everything is correct and is in balance with each other. Both the concept and styling of the Essence are like a classic jewel, but the technique is hypermodern.

HOEK DESIGN ESSENCE 33 – HULL # 07

The Essence 33 design is the elegant result of the collaboration between Hoek Design and the producer Yagt.

The Essence 33 was designed as a daysailer, but is also a seaworthy yacht. One sails the Essence 33 in the company of good friends. A day on the water, surrounded by freedom and luxury, with a nice glass of wine and a well-filled cool box. Both the interior as well as the deck will give you plenty of space for these purposes. Despite its considerable size, the ship can be trailered so there is no need to worry about expensive moorings in the warmer regions. You are maneuverable, flexible and free to go wherever you please.

No Yacht? No Problem: This New Experience Allows You To Sail In Luxury In The British Virgin Islands

I had the opportunity to be among the first group of select journalists to set sail on the chic catamaran dubbed Nomada at Sea in the British Virgin Islands (BVI). It’s the latest venture from the female-founded hotel company Nomada Hotel Group . The company’s properties are known for design concepts that are intentional and intimate, and the team made sure to bring these special touches to this yacht experience.

Outside of a cruise ship and a four-hour catamaran excursion that I’ve booked on vacations previously, I’ve never sailed on a yacht like this. With the excursion requiring us to be on it for several days, I was initially nervous about being out at sea for an extended time. These feelings changed quickly after meeting our crew, which included a captain, personal chef, and stewardess. The first thing we did once onboard was go over safety protocols, which instantly relieved my nerves.

I was in awe of how spacious the beautiful 62-foot catamaran is. The Nomada at Sea is equipped with five ensuite cabins that are truly a home away from home. Each cabin comes with its own head compartments (bathroom), shower, and a queen-sized bed. There’s no television in the room but there is an iPad and books for entertainment. The yacht can sleep up to 10 people comfortably.

As you leave the cabins and walk up the first flights of stairs, you step inside a spacious salon and galley where our personal chef , Kenetha Ashton with Elite Culinaire , cooked the meals and snacks during our entire sail.

Outside on the Aft deck, or the back of the ship, is a comfortable seating area. We spent most of our mornings in this area for breakfast or lying out during the sails. The bow of Nomada at Sea has two built-in hammocks and more lounge seating to soak in the sun. This was a great area to spend time while we sailed and for enjoying stargazing. Those of us who stayed up late even caught the sight of a shooting star.

We sailed for five days, visiting different islands and marinas in the “Sailing Capital of the World.” What I enjoyed about each stop was the chance to explore the character of the islands on and off the yacht. The BVI is comprised of more than 60 islands and cays, and each has its own identity and iconic landmarks to explore.

There was Virgin Gorda, where we stopped on our first night. It’s a half-mile beach of powder white sand beyond a colorful barrier reef known as one of the Caribbean’s finest shorelines. Virgin Gorda is home to The Baths National Park. The park is an incredible geological wonder filled with mammoth granite boulders that are stunning to witness in person, as some boulders get up to 40 feet in diameter. We had to hike through some hills, tight spaces, and even water, but the views are worth the one-hour journey to its breathtaking beaches.

Virgin Gorda is also home to a Black-owned restaurant, Hog Heaven, where we had lunch. It was founded by boat captain and livestock farmer Dale “Blondie” Wheatley, and serves grilled, jerk, and barbecue pork, ribs, chicken, seafood and more while taking in the best views of Virgin Gorda as it sits on top of a hill.

On our way to the next stop, Scrub Island, our captain stopped so we could snorkel the uninhabited Dog Islands. The islands are less than three miles northwest of Virgin Gorda in the Sir Francis Drake Channel. The Dogs are one of the top snorkeling sites because there’s an abundance of sea life to explore.

When we arrived at Scrub Island, we had access to the marina’s pools, gym, and restaurants, which felt like a private island retreat. We had dinner at Cardamom & Co. – a culinary gem on the island known for its fusion of global cuisine, an elegant ambiance, attentive service, and creative dishes.

Our last island stops were Sandy Cay and Jost Van Dyke. Sandy Cay is an uninhabited island off the BVI where we snorkeled, paddle boarded, and swam in the beautiful water. After our water sports, we headed to Jost Van Dyke to have lunch at Hendo’s Hideout and drink the iconic Painkiller from Soggy Dollar on White Bay Beach. Soggy Dollar is known to have created the drink, made with dark rum, pineapple juice, orange juice and cream of coconut.

Later that night, we had dinner at Foxy’s , a family and Black-owned restaurant. In 1968, Philicianno “Foxy” Callwood set up a bar under the shade of a Tamarind tree to welcome sailors to his island home. Foxy’s Tamarind Bar is recognized as the birthplace of BVI’s yachting tourism industry. He and his family have welcomed people to his bar and restaurant for over five decades.

Aside from going fishing with my dad and the swimming lessons at the local natatorium growing up, life on a marina is a foreign concept for me. Even though I’ve traveled to more than 30 countries and have done most things, from snorkeling, kayaking, riding the floating bike, cautiously getting on a jet ski, and everything in between, I hadn’t had access to an authentic sailing experience on a yacht.

And I’m not an anomaly. According to the most recent National Recreational Boating Safety Survey data, 26.5 percent of the U.S. population participates in boating, but less than one percent of Black households own boats. Of those surveyed, a higher percentage of African Americans said they had no interest in boating, and “not knowing anyone who owned a boat” was the top reason for not boating.

Charter yacht experiences like Nomada at Sea help break down these barriers. In addition to offering a relaxing, one-of-a-kind adventure, the crew made me feel comfortable and safe in the ocean, welcoming me to experience the yacht and the beauty of the world around me.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
