1 SPIRIT: A JOURNEY SUE & DICK HAMMILL OYSTER 575 // SPIRIT During 40 years together, Sue and Dick Hammill from the United States have sailed all over the world, taking regular sailing holidays with their friends and family. With time and opportunity afforded to them by retirement, the couple decided to expand their horizons, commissioning Oyster 575, Spirit. Sue and Dick Hammill set sail from Ipswich in May 2015 for their maiden voyage, the start of a great adventure. WORDS & PHOTOS BY SUE & DICK HAMMILL 28 / OYSTER ISSUE 78

2 // OWNER STORY In January 2014, Sue and Dick Hammill started a blog, the first entry sums up their ambitions... We all have dreams, and this website is all about the realisation of our dream the building of a new yacht. For over 30 years we ve enjoyed bare boating, sailing with friends and gawking at beautiful yachts in anchorages from the Caribbean to The Kingdom of Tonga. Fast forward to about six months ago when we made a life-changing decision to build a yacht not just any yacht, but an Oyster 575. While we live in an age of instant gratification, the building of our yacht is anything but instant. We will take delivery in May of 2015 in Ipswich, England. Over the build period for Oyster 575 Spirit, Sue and Dick Hammill visited Oyster s boatyard in Wroxham and received regular updates and pictures depicting the Oyster craftsmen at work. Spirit is the 28 th Oyster 575 to be built and like all Oyster Yachts, the owners have the ability to customise the finish to their own specification. I COULDN T BE MORE IMPRESSED WITH THE INCREDIBLE CRAFTSMEN AND THE LEVEL OF DETAIL THAT IS GOING INTO SPIRIT AND THE SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE OF OUR PROJECT MANAGER, LUKE. With just over 250 days before Spirit sets sail, almost all of the major decisions have been made and it s now down to what colours we want on our asymmetrical spinnaker, the types of cushions in the cockpit and cabin accessories. It has been quite a journey building a yacht on the other side of the Atlantic, but what a terrific education. I m just returning from a second visit to the Oyster facilities in Wroxham and Ipswich, England where I could see first hand the progress being made, and touch and feel this incredible soon-to-be sailing machine. Just like our last visit, I couldn t be more impressed with the incredible craftsmen and the level of detail that is going into Spirit and the support and guidance of our project manager, Luke. Everything, and I mean everything, is right on track. With a full keel, centre cockpit and raised saloon and all the creature comforts required for long distance bluewater cruising, Spirit was finished to the specification of the Hammills under consultation from Oyster project manager, Luke Porter. Spirit has air conditioning, a full galley with both a dishwasher and a washer dryer, ample refrigeration, satellite communications and state of the art audio and visual systems. The spacious layout includes an incredibly large aft Owners Cabin, a forward VIP cabin and two bunk cabins accommodating a total of eight. Sue and Dick Hammill s adventures with Oyster 575, Spirit are shared in a wonderful blog, candidly portraying the build process and their thoughts and experiences for life at sea. >> It s fun to look at the pictures that our project manager, Luke so dutifully sends us every couple of weeks. Like the building of a house, after the initial structure is complete where changes have been evident daily, the physical changes will now slow down as the craftsmen tend to the thousands of details that will make Spirit a very special yacht. OYSTER ISSUE 78 / 29

3 MAY 16 It s been a long time coming but we re finally onboard and waking up to the realisation of a life long dream. This past week has been a whirlwind of preparation activities from sea trials to loading almost 50 boxes of supplies, from figuring out where everything goes to testing all the systems, and from cleaning all the pots and pans to making the beds. We couldn t have done all this without our very able crew, Tom and Hannah, and enough can t be said about the entire Oyster team who have been incredible partners especially our project manager, Luke and commissioning skipper, Duncan who oversaw all the last minute details of what became one incredible yacht. We rounded Isle D Ouessant and started our southwest 350 nautical mile crossing of the Bay of Biscay a bay that is notorious for challenging water but that was not our experience just rolling seas with winds less than 10 knots from the north. Our wind was the steady hum of a 150hp Volvo marine engine. As we travelled these waters of many shipping lanes we became intensely involved with Spirit s AIS (automatic identification system). It s essentially the same as what the airline industry uses to avoid traffic conflicts we set the system to sound an alert anytime a vessel closes to within a mile - sure helps us sleep better at night. Now, with much anticipation we ll be departing Ipswich in the next few days and heading for the Mediterranean. It s been quite a ride and it s only just begun. We ve all adjusted nicely to offshore sailing watch schedules, wonderful dinners, moving about hanging on to hand rails, wearing layer upon layer upon layer of clothing and sleeping with lee cloths. MAY We departed Ipswich on a cold rainy morning heading south for 21 Guernsey. After a day of heavy winds and tired wet and cold souls, we stopped in Dover overnight but not before capturing a glorious sunset behind the White Cliffs. After only a few hours of sleep we were up by 4:30am. Given the significant tides in this part of the world, entry into major ports needs to be timed properly to ensure favourable currents tropical sailing with a rum punch this isn t. Spirit is performing like a dream her ability to handle all the conditions that the English Channel is throwing at her is impressive and our entire crew is enjoying the ride. Tomorrow morning we ll be departing for the Bay of Biscay and down to Cascais, Portugal. The dreaming is done. The reality is here. The last few days we ve had a pleasant change of weather blue skies, much warmer temperatures, and easing winds and we ve just arrived in a beautiful port town of Cascais, Portugal life is good. MAY We left Cascais, Portugal for a two-day sail down to Gibraltar 28 under totally clear skies and light winds (and more importantly temperatures in the 70s). Cascais was a wonderful stop, which gave us all a chance to take a break from the night watches and wander around a beautiful port town. As we were sailing into Cascais we were treated to seeing the Volvo ocean racers, who had just crossed the Atlantic from Newport and were approaching the finish for their leg to Lisbon one passed us going over 20 knots! MAY We departed Guernsey in a fog bank which we were sure would 22 burn off by mid-morning wishful thinking. After two days Spirit was still in the fog with the yacht s fog horn sounding every few minutes (to scare off the mega-container ships). Shortly after departure we encountered our first family of dolphins frolicking in Spirit s bow wave. Remarkable, lovable mammals. From Cascais we headed south for a two-day sail to Gibraltar. Besides gawking and taking photos of the rock, we were dwarfed by a sea of 20+ super tankers. The most important reason for stopping in Gibraltar was to replenish our diesel fuel at the lowest prices in Europe. No value added tax (VAT)! >> 30 / OYSTER ISSUE 78

6 The next 3+ days we enjoyed sunny warm weather with a relatively slight sea state the kind of conditions that put everyone in a reflective mood staring at the horizon. We also were entertained almost daily by dolphin visits. The one thing that seems consistent on most days at sea are magnificent sunrises and sunsets this last week certainly didn t disappoint. A FEW FIXES HERE AND THERE AND WE THINK WE RE GOOD TO GO JUNE 07 We have now arrived in Palma, the undisputed yachting capital of the Mediterranean. Palma simply beautiful! We ve spent five days here in the Marina Port de Mallorca after the transit from England to get everything back in shape a few fixes here and there and we think we re good to go. It s a sailor s paradise. Known for its sun and beach tourism, it also has an incredible historic quarter. The Cathedral, the Almudaina Palace, the Lonja fish market and Plaza Mayor are just a few of the sites. The most beautiful monuments are surrounded by fishing boats, pine forests and palm trees. The landscape of the island is full of coves, beaches and cliffs on the coast, and inland are towns and mountain ranges up to 5,000 feet high. Spirit is starting its exploration of this idyllic Mediterranean island today, now that the 2,000 mile transit from England is behind us high expectations abound. JUNE We ve now logged our first cruising week sailing around 15 Mallorca. The scenery has been stunning, the ports quaint, and we re refining our taste for Sangria. Unlike the Caribbean, the Mediterranean winds are not very predictable, so every day we let Mother Nature determine where we ll be going yesterday, because of the wind shifts, we backtracked three hours to the quiet anchorage of Cala Formentor, arriving just before nightfall. In one week we ve made almost a dozen stops, done all types of sailing, and had the motor running more than we would have liked but no complaining, we re taking it all in and enjoying every minute. JUNE 2016 What a year! We took delivery, sailed the Mediterranean, did the ARC+ crossing, spent time in the Windward and Leeward Islands and participated in our first Oyster Regatta in Antigua. Over 10,000 nautical miles, over 30 ports of call, a second place finish in our class at the ARC+ Cape Verde to St. Lucia 2,000nm leg and capped it all off with winning our Class at the Oyster Regatta in Antigua. Oyster and Spirit have served us well, and the journey continues. See Oyster 575 Spirit participating in the Antigua Regatta on page 68. OYSTER ISSUE 78 / 33
