Rusalka
2010  Winter, in London: full refit to turn the solo offshore racing yacht in to an offshore Med racer that could easily be handled by the owner and a crew of four. Modifications included a new engine, a modified forward bulkhead and new chainplates, and the unusual inclusion for an Open 60 of basic a galley, a shower and mountings for a chemical toilet.

2011 Avril, site Owen Clark: For sale: Rusalka, ex Artemis 1, ex Pindar and originally built as Hexagon is reluctantly for sale by her owner having been purchased for use as a private yacht in late 2009. Rusalka is a swing keel water ballasted IMOCA Open 60 and is one of the lightest of any generation ever built. Even with the increased weight of modifications to her rig bringing her in line with later Owen Clarke designs she still measures in at 8,500kg. Rusalka has been continually professionally maintained and updated throughout her life by her owners/skippers including Mike (Moose) Sanderson. As a result, she's still a very fast Open 60 and is also the last of the Open 60's built that would have been valid for the Eco 60 class in the VELUX 5 OCEANS RACE 2010-11

2012 Extensive refit and respray including new 37hp Yanmar diesel engine and sail drive unit

2017 January, For Sale Open 60 Rosalba, Built as Hexagon HSBC for Graham Dalton to sail in the 2002 Around Alone, After that race, the boat was purchased by Pindar for Emma Richards. In consultation with the Owen Clarke Design office significant development was undertaken with Mike Sanderson as skipper. This included a conversion from single central daggerboard to twin asymmetric boards, and conversion of rig to removable genoa with halyard lock system -now common amongst the fleet. Between 2006 and 2009 the boat was owned and managed by Artemis Ocean Racing. She was originally used as the race boat competing in the 2006 Route de Rhum and 2007 TJV. She was subsequently used as the corporate boat and was RORC Class Champion in 2008. In 2010 the boat was purchased by the previous owner and renamed Rusalka. The boat went through an extensive refit during which; in addition to general servicing, the decks, topsides, bottom and appendages were re-sprayed and the keel modified. Hydraulics overhauled, engine and saildrive replaced, interior redesigned and galley fitted, and much more. Under current ownership the boat was renamed Rosalba and has been impeccably maintained and further invested in with new rigging, electronics, mainsail, genoa, code 0 and J2 and an overhaul of keel hydraulics. She has also been fully coded for charter activity. Location: Genoa Italy, 395 000 Euros, VAT payed
