The boat from the movie
Exodus is the only ship that Alwyn Enoe built without order. He undertook it to pass the trade on to his sons. The construction lasted three years, and it was this building site that photographer Alexis Andrews filmed for Vanishing Sail, Released in 2015 and awarded prizes at more than forty festivals, the film tells precisely this story: an old master, sensing the end of his career approaching, builds one last boat with his sons.
In terms of design, Exodus represents an evolution: the bow and stern are more vertical, lengthening the waterline, the hull is fuller at the rear, and the chine is finer. Alwyn Enoe still maintains that it is his best and fastest hull.
Nine knots without engine or instruments
A few weeks after its launch, Exodus competed in the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta. At that time, it had no engine, no instruments, no electronics. Its ballast consisted of sandbags. The mast and boom were two tapered utility poles. It had two winches in total. On a 24-mile course, it faced its rival Genesis, He exceeds 9 knots downwind. A journalist on board writes that he "leaps over the waves like an impatient young dog." At the awards ceremony, Alwyn Enoe receives a lifetime achievement award.
Twelve years of transformations
Exodus is no longer the bare-bones vessel of 2013. Three work campaigns have modified it without ever altering its original hull. 2014, The rigging was rebuilt using parts salvaged from the classic yacht. Berenice, a 92-foot ketch from 1923, wrecked at Port-Grimaud — its foremast, cut where it was rotten, crossed the Atlantic on deck before being remodeled in Antigua. A 60 hp Yanmar engine was installed.
In 2016, A complete refit at Woodstock Boatbuilders in Antigua adds sister frames, recasts the ballast, changes the rigging from gunter to Marconi, and creates an interior from scratch where the boat previously had only an empty hold.
In 2020, after a boom split during a windy day of the Bequia Easter Regatta, mast and boom were rebuilt in Canadian Douglas fir by Driftwood Boatbuilders in Grenada.
Bequia was its home port from 2016 to 2025. Every year, it was hauled out of the water, painted, and antifouled. One detail says it all about what this boat represents on the island: when it passed through Carriacou, Alwyn Enoe would come to the shipyard himself to do the traditional caulking.
