Built in 1982 by the Finnish shipyard Nautor's Swan. Evrika has had only three owners since she was built in 1982 by a Finnish shipyard. Wright bought her in 1984 after she had been successfully entered in regattas with her first owner for 2 years. She is currently owned by Richard Little, who bought her 5 years ago.

The teak deck was refurbished in 2007 and the boat underwent a major refit in 2012, but even after that, much of the original engineering has survived, including the Baby Blake toilets (although they have been upgraded). The equipment and appliances have been repaired or replaced.

The interior of the Pink Floyd is still entirely original - unchanged from when Rick Wright explored the seas on her.

She is based on the standard 20-metre Swan 65. Her stylish yet practical interior accommodation includes 4 cabins for 8 people, one of which is ensuite to the owner. The sophisticated galley is equipped with a fridge and gas stove with grill, while the salon, behind the U-shaped dining area, easily accommodates all passengers.

It remains to be seen who will be the lucky new owner of a celebrity navigator's boat?
