De Essence 33 is op de HISWA Amsterdam Boat Show uitgeroepen tot Zeilboot van het Jaar 2014. BotenTV.nl wilde meer weten over de achtergrond daarvan en dus hielden zij een kort interview met Michel Hof aan boord van de Essence 33 in de Amsterdam RAI.
The Essence 74 is a cruiser pur sang. Quite a heavy ship compared to the other Essence sailing yachts, guaranteeing the desired stability at sea. All systems on board are tuned to a long and self-supportive stay on board. When sailing the oceans for several weeks, you want to feel safe and comfortable. Your ship is your home, and that is the feeling you get, as soon as you get on board.
