Motor Boat & Yachting's boat test of the Elling E4. See the April 2009 issue of the magazine to read about an Atlantic crossing made by three of the boats. Visit www.mby.com; follow us at mbyipc
This boat is the bees knees, the best boat ever. Why there isn't a proper review of this is beyond me! Unsinkable, crossed the Atlantic ocean, a fantastic layout, the mast comes down for French canal crossings, can take any sea, it's the perfect boat! PLUS a downstairs lounge, great bedrooms. I love Nordhavn but this would fulfil all my requirements!
This boat is perfect for so many things. Its very strong and reliable, cheaper to maintain (1 engine) and can go at decent speeds (18 kts). Not only that, it's very stable and pretty much unsinkable Edit: not to mention the master state room and the tons of interior and exterior space.
I know im randomly asking but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost the account password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Davian Brayan i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
It shows the boat moving softly even at its extremities, and virtually not at all in the pilot house, at a speed and sea state where even the most rough-conditions-ready planing hulls would be breaking teacups anywhere onboard. Hence would resalistically be backed down further, while still pitching more, in most typical cruising situations (even though Reggie Fountain and a couple of New Zealand thunzdercat racers would no doubt be perfectly OK going plenty faster in them....) While at the same time, a displacement yacht would be forever stuck at less than half the cruising speed of this one, most of the time. This is the major reason someone would pick a semi displacement hull like this, over Nordhavn on one end, or a big Targa or similar on the other. It's a bit of a niche, and one which is easy to overlook, since powerful semidisplacement boats, on paper, come across a bit neither fish nor fowl. But if one anticipates conditions like this a fair amount of time, and is interested in being able to _comfortably_ make reasonably quick progress (The weather always sucks in Holland. Greetings from SoCal.... :) ), this video is not a bad demonstration off why one may want to look into this boat.
The CE Ocean A rating certifies that the yacht is built to withstand Beaufort Force 8 wind conditions of up to 40 knots and seas of 20+'. Powered by the new Cummins QSB 6.7 engine rated at 480HP, the economic fuel consumption of 4 mpg at 7.5 knots provides a range of 1500+ nautical miles. The fast cruise of 12-14 knots still gives about 1 mpg and the top speed is 17-18 knots. from: www.yachtworld.co.uk/boats/2020/elling-e4-ultimate-2759756/
