The Esse 750 is a compact, performance-oriented fractional sloop designed by Umberto Felci and built by Schuchter Sportboot starting in 2012. With a displacement of 2160.5 lb and a D/L ratio of 99.39, this 24.61 ft LOA vessel prioritizes speed and agility over heavy cruising comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal day-sailors and weekend cruisers who value high-performance sailing and easy trailering, given its light displacement and fractional rig.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low comfort ratio of 11.8 and a capsize ratio of 2.08, the Esse 750 is designed for coastal and bay sailing rather than extended offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteh First 23.7 and the J/24, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs, light displacement characteristics, and a focus on club racing and coastal cruising.
