Elling E6 review

One-of-a-kind, the Elling E6 forces us to re-examine what it is that we want from our boating

The Elling E6 is so different to any other boat you are likely to encounter that it’s difficult establishing an independent frame of reference to judge it by.

So as a starting point, let’s use one of Elling’s own edicts, “to make the safest boat in the world” – an audacious claim indeed. But then Elling is a pretty bold outfit.

Twin Volvo Penta D13 900hp engines provide the power

Although the Dutch company has not yet done so with this new flagship E6, under controlled conditions it did (spectacularly and successfully) purposely roll one of its smaller E4 models through 360 degrees, just to prove its self-righting claim.

Like the E4, the E6’s hull is constructed from Kevlar and Twaron, two high strength aramid fibres which in practical boating terms are nigh on indestructible.

Raised aft deck allows space for the aft master cabin

With its single engine and 5,000 litre fuel tanks, as long as you slow down to single figure speeds it’s capable of crossing the Atlantic without refuelling.

And yet its 900hp Volvo is also capable of pushing it at over 20 knots, giving it a cruising speed in the high teens – fast enough to ignore adverse tides and bad weather on shorter and less demanding coastal passages like, say, Dartmouth to Gibraltar. So far, so very very safe.

Transformation

Of course, a jump in size from the E4’s 49ft to the E6’s 65ft is bound to provide a lot more space inside.

So in the case of the E6, the three cabins are all larger than the E4’s trio, and all en-suite too. The lower saloon is in the same place – located behind the forward VIP – but it’s also a lot roomier.

The smart VIP forward

The real transformation though, and the main reason you would buy the E6 instead of the E4 – is the pilothouse. With safety in mind, Elling refused to sacrifice the generous sidedecks on its E4, so the pilothouse felt unavoidably cosy.

A more spacious wheelhouse is one of the benefits over the smaller E4

The wide side decks have been retained on the E6, but with 25% more beam and so much extra length to play with, the pilothouse feels as though as it has trebled in size. That’s partly down to exceptionally deep windows (double glazed, mind) that are unobstructed by exuberant stylists adornments.

Aft cabin is one of the E6’s major plus points

Elling has also resisted the temptation to cram the space to capacity, instead preferring to leave plenty of free floor space to move around in. This light-filled space now provides a real alternative eating and drinking and socialising area to the lower saloon.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the smaller E4 also has three cabins and a lower saloon – the pilothouse on the E6 is transformational.

• Potential transatlantic range…
• …or cruise at 17 knots
• Tough Kevlar & Twaron hull
• Category A plus tender garage!
• Maximum 70dB(A) in pilothouse
• Huge forward lazarette
• Tedious engine access
• External machinery room access

You can find other Category A boats that will happily cross the Atlantic. Plus a few with equally tough hulls. Others too which are as quiet. But you’re unlikely to find all these things and a 21.5 knot top speed as well

Length: 65ft 0in (19.80m) Beam: 17ft 5in (5.30m) Fuel capacity: 1,100 imp gal (5,000 litres) Water capacity: 264 imp gal (1,200 litres) Draught: 4ft 11in (1.50m) RCD Category: A (for 12 people) Test engine: Single 900hp Volvo D13 + 75hp wing Top speed: 21.5 knots Cruising speed: 7-17 knots

The huge pilot house is fantastic, and designed to give an ‘Outside’ feeling as the extra length and beam completely increases the space.

Separate from this living area, the pilot house offers two helm seats plus a double sofa offering comfortable space to four guests around the helm position and keep the skipper company.

The Elling E6 comes with many standard features which on other yachts are only offered as optional extras, the standard specification is as follows:

The Revolutionary 14kW Whisper Power Generator System

• The power supply system on the Elling E6 makes use of the latest techniques, developed for the automotive and aerospace industry
• This ensures an uninterrupted power supply as reliable as the power supply at home. This means:
• No interruptions in the AC power if the shore power is cut off (so clocks on household appliances will keep the adjusted time)
• Auto start of the (almost noise less) generator, in the rare occasion that the battery is low
• 20 kWh Li-Ion Batteries ensure several hours of continuous use of Air-con without starting the generator, even when on anchor
• Full use of Galley equipment (up to 14kW) is possible during sailing without having the generator on
• The boat can be plugged in at 110V / 60 cycles or 220V / 50 cycles 6 Amp or 32 Amp shore connection (or even DC power supply from solar panels)
