Description
1993 Custom 46’ Baraka Cutter
ESME is a custom-built 46’ cutter that has just returned from an approximately nine-month family cruise through the Caribbean and to Panama, a real-world voyage that speaks to her offshore capability, livability, and proven use as a cruising sailboat.
Built in Florida in 1993 by Rand Speas and Guy Erickson, ESME is based on Chuck Paine design lineage and constructed using cold-molded marine plywood with epoxy and fiberglass sheathing. Her construction approach and build story were featured in Boatbuilder Magazine (March/April 1996) as a cold-molded epoxy case study (article available upon request).
ESME is a heavy-displacement (18-ton) offshore cruising sailboat with a 63’ mast, 5’6” draft, and versatile cutter rig. She features a pilothouse-style raised deckhouse that provides excellent shelter and visibility; the primary helm is located aft in the cockpit, protected by a dodger.
Inside, the layout is practical and comfortable with three cabins and six berths, generous storage, and the kind of volume and utility that works well for liveaboard life, extended cruising, or comfortable time at anchor. This is a straightforward, serviceable cruising boat intended for sailors who appreciate traditional sail handling and simple, proven systems.
The owners invested in numerous updates and improvements during 2024–2025 in preparation for and during their cruising season. Documentation and receipts are available upon request.

I have a lifelong passion for boating, having grown up boating on the shores of
Lake Erie and owning my first boat at the age of 22. Since moving to Florida, I
continued to pursue my love for boating further by joining a sailing club,
earning ASA certifications 101 and 103, and exploring the local boating and
fishing spots with my own powerboat.
With over 34 years of experience in the insurance industry, I have a deep
understanding of the importance of risk management and financial planning,
as well as the need for quality customer service. During this time, I also had
the opportunity to train as a boat damage adjuster, developing a sharp eye for
detail and a practical approach to solving problems.
In addition to my insurance experience, I am a local realtor and certified
personal fitness trainer. I bring a well-rounded perspective to the yachting
division, combining my passion for boating and knowledge of the local real
estate market.
Beyond my professional pursuits, I am committed to giving back to the
community and the environment. I regularly participate and donate to local
beach clean-up efforts and have help built oyster reef balls to help prevent
shoreline erosion, demonstrating my commitment to environmental
conservation.
I am eager to apply my knowledge and experience to assist clients in buying
and selling their boats. I pride myself on providing bespoke service and finding
solutions tailored to each client's needs.
