1965 Bianca 27

Boat Description

Elbar is a Bianca 27 built in Denmark in 1965. She is the first of over 600 of her type built. Elbar was exhibited at the 1966 London Boat Show and was purchased by her first owner, who named her using his initials. She is registered in London as number 308088 on the British Ships Registry. The current ownership has lasted 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 for repainting, inspection, and replacement of rigging as necessary. Elbar has been used for family holidays (2 adults and 2 children) around the Solent and the 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.
