Experience sailing at its finest with this classic and well-maintained 1965 Bianca 27 Masthead Sloop, proudly named Elbar. Elbar hails from Denmark, where she was the original model that led to an impressive fleet of over 600, with each delivering the same exceptional performance and reliable functionality. Distinguished as a feature at the 1966 London Boat Show, she exhibits an admirable level of dedication from her owner, who has regularly serviced and scheduled repainting and rigging inspections every alternate year. Capable of comfortably accommodating a family of four, Elbar is perfect for leisurely holidays around the Solent, and the south coasts of Hampshire and Dorset. She sails smoothly and responsively, boasting great balance, brisk speed, and reliable dry condition in all environments. Crafted with a simple and effective inventory for navigation, accommodation, galley, rig, deck, and safety, Elbar is a testament to tastefully maintained simplicity and reliability. This delightful little vessel brims with character, and her many years under meticulous care and maintenance have only added to her distinctive charm.
Elbar is Bianca 27 that 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.
