an unparalleled level of finish, working closely with designers
such as Nigel Irens, Ian Howlett, Ed Dubois & many more.
Saecwen of Lymington
Saecwen is a 51ft Ketch, of traditional wood & epoxy
construction.
The Elephant Boatyard was hand picked to work with
Nigel Irens to build this impressive, luxurious cruising
boat, capable of sailing from the Amazon to the Arctic.
With 28 laminated frames overlaid with cedar strip planking,
mahogany diagonals and sheathed with glass epoxy, she is a
robust yet beautiful yacht with exceptional sea-keeping
qualities.
Every single element of her is custom-made.
“The craftsmen and shipwrights at the Elephant Boatyard brought the next dimension of creativity to the project.”
Owner, Saecwen of Lymington
DUBLIN BAY 21
The Dublin Bay 21s are thought to be the oldest class of racing keelboat yacht in the world.
Commissioned by the Dublin Bay 21 Foot Sailing Club Association, we were only too happy to assist in the revival of this historic sailing class, by building 2 hulls true to the 115 year old design by Alfred Mylne.
