Evrika was launched in 1982 and is hull number 36. Like Sayula II, Evrika is ketch-rigged, though she has the longer 24m mainmast from the sloop version, as well as a mizzen mast.
Evrika’s first owner raced her in the 1980s, entering the Fastnet Race and winning the Swan Cup. Her second owner, Pink Floyd’s Rick Wright, practically lived aboard her for 25 years, making the boat famous while cruising in the Mediterranean and Caribbean.
I know the Swan 65 well, having owned one for several years. My crew and I have a lot of mileage on this boat. I came across Evrika in Antigua in 2008 in various parts of the world, as Nick Wright’s yacht, and she is to me the best one there is in the world. I am delighted that Richard and myself could come to an agreement. Team Futuro is back on Evrika!
