The Esse 990 stands as the sophisticated "big brother" to the legendary Esse 850, representing a refined evolution in the world of highperformance Swiss daysailers. Launched by Schuchter Sportboot AG and designed by the prolific Umberto Felci, this 9.9meter yacht was conceived to bridge the gap between a pure racing machine and a luxury weekender. While its predecessor, the 850, focused almost exclusively on regatta prowess, the 990 introduces a level of elegance and versatility that makes it equally at home on the starting line of a Lake Zurich regatta or at a quiet anchor in a Mediterranean cove. According to the Esseboats Official Site, the design philosophy centers on achieving maximum speed through a sleek, narrow hull form while maintaining the "singlehanded" ease of use that has become the brand's hallmark.
