The Ship
S/V Elusive
32´ LOA
10´ Beam
5´6¨ Draft
cruising speeds, 5kn under sail, 4.5- 5.0 under power.
Cutter rig, with two main head stays. (as of late one of them roller furling.)
My ship is a real one of a kind boat.
I have built 95% of the boat, and all of it to my own designs and ideas.
The hull was originally a Cal 29. I found her as a wreck at the Balboa Yacht Club in Panama.
I spent over three years re-building absolutely every thing! every rib, stringer, bulhead, nothing but two pieces of wood are original. I designed her rib, and stringer system, as well as every thing else, down to the smallest detail - a bottle openner in the galley. 95% of all the work I did myself.
The boat has a new rig,a taller mast,over sized rigging (3/8 spliced stainless steel), tabernackle. the boat was also re- powered with an old Yanmar 2gm20.
the boat carries in three seperate fixed tanks 80 gallons of diesel, and in drums stored around the boat, a total of about 120 gallons. I get about twenty miles to the gallon.
the boat is wheel steered.
the boat also has a solid stainless steel rail that wraps around the whole boat, bow sprit and all. I have a stainless arch over the stern, mounted on the arch are two solar panels, radar, and gps, vhf, sat antenas.
That is the basics of my boat.

if Elusive is for sale, what are your plans for your curcumnavigation?
Dingo,
If I manage to sell my boat I am going to by a 33 foot steel cutter that is for sale. Then take the route a bit farther off the well beatten path. I have always wanted to do this trip in a steel boat, and now a suitable one ahs come along, so i am trying to manage to get her.
I'm glad to hear that. Was hoping that you wern't giving up on your trip. Keep up the blogs, we enjoy reading them
