ELLAD: built to Fife's last design, 1957; restored 2012; refitted 2023 CLASSIC YACHT FOR SALE
The opportunity to own a William #fife design of this rare size – an incredibly beautiful #classic #cruiser-racer, practical in almost every modern sense – is a rare thing indeed. ELLAD offers that chance, and she is very ready, having been refitted 2022-2023 for short-handed, long distance cruising while still feeling just out of her major, award-winning 2011-12 restoration by some of Brittany’s finest craftsmen. William Fife Jr/ III was in his early 80s when he speculatively drew No. 830 which was to become his last design – employing the fine, unique, drawn-out canoe stern lines of the famous 70 ft yawl LATIFA in compressed form. Such a stern really lends itself to the yawl rig ELLAD was originally built with. Highly recommended. More at: https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/707/ELLAD
