I am going out on a limb here. I received the following request from Alex Eschauzier who lives in the Netherlands. He is looking for a SS28. I know it is unlikely that a SS28 made it from its inception on Gooding Avenue in Bristol, R.I., in the 1980’s to somewhere in Europe to be found for sale in 2026. And I know this request belongs in the Classifieds. But what a great story it would be to find such a boat in Europe. So if you know of a SS28 available somewhere in Europe, contact Alex. And let me know how it all goes.

“My name is Alex Eschauzier and I live in The Netherlands.

I am very interested in acquiring a Sea Sprite 28, but they are very rare in Europe so it seems.Is it possible to enter my name and contact information on your forum in case there is a Sea Sprite owner in the UK of Europe who considers selling his/her boat?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Seasons Greetings to All Sea Sprite Sailors

On November 21, the Sea Sprite Assocation held its annual meeting at the Bristol Yacht Club.  The meeting was attended by SS 23 and SS 40 boat owners.  It was an excellent opportunity to talk about all things Sea Sprite.

With the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays upon us, I want to urge you embrace the season of giving. And, one of the cheapest gifts you can give yourself is to renew your annual membership to our Assocation.  For $25.00, you can support our cause and enable yourself to get a discount from a variety of sailing vendors.  Joining (or rejoining) the Association is simple.  Just go to the top of our website page and click on the membership link.  Please do it now.  2026 is just around the corner.  

As acting commodore, my goal this year is to keep you abreast of the latest SS developments.  For example, we have already locked in our Annual SS Regatta date (July 18) and the Annual Race Around Hog Island date (September 12).  We will have more contact with you throughout the new year.  Let us know what things might interest you.

Fondly,

Bob Rude, Acting Commodore
