Details

Electra was professionally built in Portugal to Oceanic standards and has watertight fore and aft cabins and engine room. We have owned her for the last 23 years and lived on board when our children were young. We have maintained and continually improved and updated her to the highest standard, spending over 50,000 euros in 2020/21 alone in preparation for a Westward circumnavigation, which we started in Lisbon at the end of 2021. Electra was surveyed for insurance purposes and valued at 110,000 euros.Electra then crossed the Atlantic via Madeira, the Canaries and Cape Verde and spent two seasons cruising in the Caribbean but due to my deteriorating health my wife and I have been forced to hang up our sea boots and we sailed her back to Lisbon via the Azores this Summer, 2023, our final voyage.Electra is out of the water and is fitted out and ready to start again with back-ups, spares and tools on board for almost everything and all eventualities. She is a very strong, safe and comfortable cruising yacht and even has full fuel tanks so you only need to stock up with food and water for her next adventure to begin.------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ELECTRA DETAILS & INVENTORY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hull below waterline:- Sandblasted, surveyed, repainted and full "Coppercoat" treatment 2021. - Copercoat touched up 2023 (as shown in hull photo).----------------------------------------------------------Hull above waterline:- Acrylic portlights re-glazed and hull repainted 2021.----------------------------------------------------------Deck:- Touched up with epoxy primers as necessary and repainted non-slip 2023.----------------------------------------------------------Dog house:- Touched up with epoxy primers as necessary and repainted 2023.----------------------------------------------------------Chain locker:- Bottom drains replaced and repainted with epoxy primers 2021.----------------------------------------------------------Cockpit rope lockers:- Touched up with epoxy primers and repainted 2023.----------------------------------------------------------Standing Rigging:- Forestay, and Cap shrouds are 10mm, Intermediates and cutterstay 8mm all are secured to chain plates with Navtec turnbuckles. - Backstay 10mm secured to chain plate with Harken hand adjusted tensioner. - All wires and that on running backstays were renewed in 2021, line on running backstays renewed in 2023. - Profurl staysail furler (L32i) was installed in 2005 and rewired in 2021. - Furlex FLX 304 S genoa furler installed in 2021.----------------------------------------------------------Mast:- Original mast. - Monel winch and gooseneck rivets. - Folding s.s.mast steps to top. - Rivets insulated with Duralac. - Bosuns chair----------------------------------------------------------Boom, vang strut & kicker:- Original Lewmar jamming cleat blocks and reefing clutches. - Monel Rivets.----------------------------------------------------------Winches:- 13 total, all Lewmar. - Self tailing 2 speed, Nos. 16, 43, 48, 52 and 65 two of each + one no.30 and two 2 speed non self tailing no 52's----------------------------------------------------------Genoa pole:- Selden Aluminium 5.5 m.----------------------------------------------------------Bowsprit:- Custom made retractable/removable s.s. for asymmetric spinnaker.----------------------------------------------------------Propeller:- Enlarged bronze fixed 3 blade with "stripper" rope cutter.
