L’Esprit d’équipe was built in 1981 and designed by the architect Philippe Briand.

Hailing from and sponsored by the sailing town of Les Sables-d’Olonne in West France, L’Esprit d’équipe sailed in the 1981 Whitbread under the name 33 Export. Skippered by Lionel Péan, she would go on to win the 1985 Whitbread, securing her place in sailing history alongside the legends. She would see success again winning her class in the 1989 race, with Patrick Tabarly leading the charge.

This iconic yacht is now for sale to anyone wishing to enter the 2027 Ocean Globe Race.

Sterna is a modified Swan 53 commissioned in 1988 by an experienced Danish yachtsman who wanted a true regatta racing yacht that can accommodate large crews comfortably.

She was built with a multitude of unique features, including: a custom keel with an improved righting moment, aft companionway, a modified bridge deck and an expanded aft cabin with two single berths. Further changes from the original design includes the installation of a 135 hp engine (instead of the normal 85hp) and expanded water and diesel tanks to enable longer periods of off-grid self-reliance.

The boat was sold in 1994 and continued to cruise the Mediterranean and Adriatic before sailing to the Caribbean with her third owner in 2001. Allspice Yachting specifically bought her in 2021 for the Ocean Globe Race.

Triana is a Swan 53, number 8 in the series, built in 1987 by the Nautor Swan shipyard in Finland. Fifty examples of the boat were produced.

She is a sloop-rigged yacht with 3 spreaders, designed by naval architect German Friers, with a draught of 2.60m. She is a high-performance, elegant and comfortable yacht, which was completely overhauled and equipped for the 2023/2024 Ocean Globe Race. She was the winner of her class and finished 3rd overall in IRC, ahead of all the Whitbread legends!
