'Ellida of Laira' is a Saltram 40. Formerly called Saga the
boats were designed by Alan Pape and based on the canoe-ended (double-ended) design of the Colin Archer. My wife and I bought Ellida in 1997 and spent 3 years fitting her out. She was a wonderful home for us for 13 years having cruised from UK in 2000 to the Americas then through
Panama to NZ and
Australia before heading to
Malaysia where she currently lies. Sadly my wife died and I have no wish to continue without her, so Ellida must be
sold.
I had the coachroof and
cockpit repainted, fitted a new
Furuno radar system and renewed her standing
rigging in 2012/13 and she has not sailed since. She was moth-balled after illness struck in 2013 and on my return at the end of September this year it seems that the
engine has seized. It's a
Yanmar 4JH3E and I am in the process of having her properly reconditioned by qualified engineers, this is expected to take about 4 weeks.
Her condition is excellent both inside and out and it would require very little
work to put her back into harness.
Having read the above, members will understand that I am prepared to 'take a hit' on this in order to effect a quick
sale. I am asking EUR 40,000. There is a vast amount of kit that goes with this including a virtually unused
Honda 2000
generator plus many tools,
charts,
SSB, RX only
AIS,
VHF,
GPS.
