Wheelhouse
From the deck you enter the wheelhouse which is positioned just aft of amidships and slightly sunken below the level of the main deck. This provides ample headroom and also excellent all round vision from behind the wood spoke steering wheel. The wheelhouse, constructed of aluminium and clad in varnished teak, houses the chart table, comms equipment and a complete array of navigation equipment as well as an area for resting during longer passages.
Galley/Dining Area
The companionway steps lead down from the Wheelhouse into the Galley/Dining Area. The Galley is positioned on the Port side and designed in a practical U-shape configuration, with plenty of preparation space. The Galley includes a double electric oven, 5 ring induction hob (with bespoke stainless-steel pan holders), and integrated microwave oven. Fitted into the teak worktop is a twin stainless steel sink with hot and cold running water. To complete the galley fit out are twin chest freezers, a front opening fridge and a full size domestic washing machine.
On the starboard side is a large wooden dining table with plenty of space for seating 8 diners in comfort.
Saloon
Leading forward from the Galley/Dining area, through a separating door way is the Central Saloon. As with the Galley/Dining the Saloon has ample head-room and includes two leather settees positioned around a central wooden table. Against the interior bulkhead (leading to the Galley) is an electric flame-effect convection fire in a wood surround fireplace.
The Saloon is bright and airy thanks to the roof that includes a large glazed hatch. Not only functional as a sky-light, this hatch also enables the saloon to double as a storage area for bulky items of cargo or the removal of the larger items of equipment and machinery fitted inside the boat.
The Saloon includes copious space for storage as well as full length berths down both Port and Starboard sides.
Forward Suite
Leading further forward from the Saloon is the Forward suite that comprises the fore cabin and the forward heads. The fore cabin has a double berth under which there is access to the forward machinery space, the forward air conditioning plant and the bow thruster.
The forward heads include a sea toilet and shower. There is an oil fired central heating system which heats everything including the Jacuzzi.
Master Suite
Aft from the Galley/Dining Area is the spacious Master suite which includes a Queen size double, further separate berth on the starboard side, vanity unit and also a small library with a leather settee. At the end of the bed is a flat screen satellite TV.
The Master suite also has a large en-suite shower room and is fitted with a generous shower and a continental style bidet.
Day Toilet
Also leading from the Galley/Dining Area is a Day Toilet with basin. This room also provides access to the engine and main machinery space.
Services
Heating is provided throughout the boat by radiators fed from an oil fired boiler. Air conditioning is provided by 4 Cruz AC units that provide cool air to the principal cabin spaces as well as ducting to the Wheelhouse. These units reversible so can either heat or cool.

Broker's Comments
STUNNING! STUNNING! STUNNING!
Make sure to view the videos taken with owner explaining details throughout the boat. Owner would consider part ex.
Also ever thought of maybe buying this boat with a group of friends or a syndicate - we could help you figure that out. Or maybe set her up as a luxury charter boat the world is your oyster!
Stepping aboard this boat and looking around the wide Douglas Fir deck she looked on first glances like an extremely well undertaken restoration of an old wooden classic fitted with traditional bronze winches and hatches and varnished teak table with comfortable seating for 8. Progressing into the wheelhouse and down the companionway into the stunning interior the vessel began to reveal her true nature. This is a bespoke yacht built to the current owner’s demanding specifications commissioned in 2012 as a luxurious fast blue-water cruiser that could be sailed by him alone or with one additional crew. Her lines are of a design by the legendary French designer Francoise Lamcard in 1891 and she was built by a renowned Cornish Boatyard. A fast fine entry shape to give a sleek appearance despite a beam of 19ft. She is an extremely strong GRP construction built up with 14 layers of cloth either side of the keel and with 28 layers over the keel. Whilst retaining her traditional looks the gaff ketch rig uses some modern materials and equipment to make the boat more manageable by a short-handed crew.
Her main engine is a Gardner 6LXB which is situated in an engine room that has ample space to undertake all normal maintenance tasks. The theme of accessibility to systems and machinery continues through-out the boat; the owner has carefully considered this aspect and all the main plant and machinery is easily accessible.
The interior provides luxurious accommodation for the owner and guests and comprises fore and aft bedroom suites, a separate saloon with fireplace and central galley/dining area with fully fitted kitchen. There are four additional berths for crew or friends. Oil fired central heating system makes her lovely and cosy in the winter months.
The deck is spacious and provides storage for a rigid tender and a seating area just aft of the wheelhouse. And one more thing, underneath a large lazarette hatch, just behind the emergency steering tiller, there is a Jacuzzi with the usual lights and jets - checkout the photograph's and video!

Owner comments:
when I decided to have Elley built I had already had around twenty yachts boats and even ships and you learn a little each time I also served a boatbuilding apprenticeship building wooden boats some boats I owned were aluminium some steel some GRP , to build a one of yacht in GRP is the dearest but the easiest to maintain also utilitys cookers fridge freezers washing machines and lights are all household items so cheaper and easer to replace the four air condition units are marine but the oil fired central system is domestic with normal household radiators . I picked the pilot cutter style as the fastest most sea kindly shape they were after all the racing yachts of the day and Jolley Breeze a pilot cutter of 1906 has twice wone the fastnet race Elley is 9/10 knot boat under sail or power in normal conditions but we have seen 10/12 and even a little surfing at 14:7 knots . Unlike most boats today you can close the loverly solid teak doors to the galley and with two opening hatches the cooking smell does not go thought the whole boat ! The other unusual item is the jaccusi under the after deck this is used a lot in port or to cool off when the boat is ashore in a ship yard the oil fired boiler will also get it hot , their are many unique systems on Elley an example no Halyards on the head sails and the electric furling square sail that makes down wind sailing so easy , I picked galvanised steel for the rigging it lasts longer and much cheaper to replace , I hope this help to explain why I had Elley built as their was nothing like her on the market and there still isn’t ! I see a lot of yachts marketed as explorer yachts that definitely are not ! twin rudders and bolt on keels are not for exploring Elley is an exploration yacht with her long keel and keel hung rudder !
