All photos are of the actual boat





These two videos show the fleet of three Elling E4s which crossed the Atlantic from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean. Quite a trek, especially as one of the boats had just 10 hours on the engine when they set off!

In order to save time, the boats were delivered by ship to the Canaries, though the route from Amsterdam to the Canaries has been completed by an E4 under its own power. The boats then set off for Saint Maarten - 2500 nautical miles.





These reviews are of the E4, which differs from the E3 by an additional 1metre of space in the aft cabin.





And finally, underway on my Elling E3. This was taken during our initial delivery trip, along the Belgian Coast during December.
