Ester

Main Content

Ester is a 15 metre fin keel racing yacht from the very beginning of the 20th century. In the late 1930s, she disappeared and was lost. In 2016 she was rediscovered 164 feet below the surface of the sea in the north of Sweden.

With the support of her owners, Bo Eriksson and Per Hellgren began a project that has seen the rebirth of a very unusual yacht. After a complete restoration, Ester was officially relaunched in Monaco in September 2019.
