Overview
About this vessel
Spirit of Rani began as a precise set of requirements from a sailor who had owned boats before and knew exactly what he wanted: classic lines, short-handed capability, offshore performance, and the comfort to live aboard seriously. Sean McMillan of Spirit Yachts designed her around those requirements. The result is a vessel that has crossed oceans, raced at Antigua Classic Week, and cruised the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and beyond, largely single-handed, for over a decade.
In 2024 and 2025, her current owner invested over €200,000 returning her to concourse condition. New rod rigging, new Quantum Fusion sails, new Mastervolt battery banks, and a full Awlgrip repaint. She is not a project. She is ready.
