esse 850
The Concept of
simplicity combined with speed was the requirement, which Josef
Schuchter confronted Umberto Felci with. The Esse 850 should easily to be
sailed by an one-man or small crew at fast speeds without the
ship heeling. Umberto realised this plan magnificently. Due to the fact
that the ship has a high ballast ratio and a good strength of shape, the
Esse 850 has a very large righting moment. Therefore the Esse 850 is
very stabile and secure.
