NEW LISTING – 1962 McGruer Yawl ‘ELONA’

Monday 25th September 2023

Mark Cameron Yachts are delighted to have been appointed to act in the sale of the 1962 McGruer Yawl ‘ELONA’.

The 40’ McGruer Yawl ELONA was designed for a serial owner of McGruer-designed and built yachts. Unlike other designs of the time she was; in the words of James McGruer, designed to be a ‘healthy, easily-handled, comfortable cruising yacht of handsome appearance’. With no consideration given to the measurement rules of the day the design has a natural flow resulting in longer overhangs, more balanced ends and a drier bow when compared to other designs which tended to feature pinched ends to maximise ratings. On deck she features the stylised ‘McGruer doghouse’ giving her that instantly recognisable McGruer silhouette.

With her current owners since 2007 ELONA has benefitted from significant ongoing investment throughout this ownership. Now reluctantly offered for sale due to ill health she is offered for sale with a comprehensive inventory including:

• Extensive refitting 2008 – 2011
• New teak deck laid 2010/11
• New main mast and standing rigging installed 2022/23
• Volvo Penta MD2030 marine diesel engine
• Flex-o-Fold 3 blade, bronze folding propellor (2008)
• New batteries fitted 2022
• B&G Network autopilot system
• B&G Network navigation instruments
• Raymarine C80 Classic chart plotter
• Furuno radar system
• Wallas Safe Flame diesel cooker
• Wallas Nautic 40D diesel fired marine heater (2009)
• Lofrans Cayman 88 electric anchor windlass

Lying afloat on her berth at James Watt Dock Marina, Greenock the 40’ McGruer Yawl ELONA is available for immediate viewing by appointment.
