Presenting for sale an elegant Bianca 27 Masthead sloop, "Elbar", a distinctive part of UK boating history. Built and showcased in Denmark in 1965, Elbar was a star attraction at the 1966 London Boat Show. Lovingly maintained by its current owner for the past 40 years, Elbar showcases impressive longevity. Serviced annually and periodically laid ashore for detailed refurbishing, Elbar is both reliable and elegantly cared-for. Its well-balanced, quick, and dry design ensures smooth sailing on family holidays around the Solent and South coast. Propel your journey with a Beta BD 722 18 HP 3-cylinder engine last serviced in 2022. Navigate the seas using the basic, dependable navigational tools on board, complemented by the boat's 12V 60AH batteries. The boat accommodates a family comfortably with a double berth forward cabin and two single berths in the main saloon, furnished with thoughtful wood trim and beige upholstery. Cook up a storm in the galley equipped with a gas cooker, an icebox, and a manual sink. Outfitted with a collection of well-maintained sails, solid mast and boom, and essential safety equipment, Elbar promises you calm and secure voyages. Explore the seas with the impressive balance of timeless elegance and reliable functionality that is Elbar.
Elbar was built in Denmark in 1965 and is the first of over 600 of her type built.
She was exhibited at the 1966 London Boat Show and bought by the first owner, who named her using his initials. She is registered in London as number 308088 on the British Ships Registry.
Elbar has been in the current ownership for the past 40 years. The engine has been serviced every December before being winterised and laid up for about 6 months. Every alternate year the boat has been laid up ashore and the mast unstepped to allow for repainting and inspection and replacement of rigging as necessary.
The boat has been used for family holidays (2 adults and 2 children) around the Solent and local south coast of Hampshire and Dorset.
She sails well, is dry under all conditions, very well balanced, light on the helm and surprisingly quick. Fittings and equipment are basic, simple and reliable.
