FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS:
ROSINA is a 2017-launched example of the Frank Mulder designed Elling E4 from Neptune Marine Shipbuilding in the Netherlands. Delivered in ‘Ultimate’ equipment level, ROSINA boasts a huge specification list tailored for effortless short-handed cruising, long-distance passages, or liveaboard duties in all climates. Her semi-displacement hull form provides safe and well-mannered cruising in all sea-conditions with plenty of power from her range-topping Volvo D8-600hp diesel engine. ‘What if’ scenarios are fully dealt with through fitment of a Volvo D1-30 wing engine (complete with separate fuel tank) and a self-righting hull; a truly unique feature on any pleasure yacht, and something usually only found on lifeboats.

MANUFACTURER’S COMMENTS:
The E-Series reach new levels for safety and luxury in contemporary yacht design, built from Twaron® to the demanding CE Category A (Ocean) standard, that’s as tough as a lifeboat ! Our models come with the option of an auxiliary engine for extra peace of mind when the going gets really tough!. Whether it’s across the bay or the ocean you’ll want to experience the all year round luxury of the E Series.
The E-Series allows you to follow your dreams. You can be sure that your Elling will get you there safely. With a draft of just 1.2M (4ft) you will easily be able to navigate the waterways and bridges along the way. Go where your imagination takes you!
Over 40 years of boat building experience combines with outstanding seaworthiness with exceptional levels of comfort. The interiors are spacious and light, with panoramic views from the wheelhouse. Excellent engineering, outstanding insulation and very advanced engine mountings mean these are arguably the quietest semi-displacement yachts in the world - even cruising at 18 knots it’s less noisy in the deck saloon than in a luxury car travelling at 100 kms/hr. All the seats give outstanding support to your legs and back, so you’ll be sitting comfortably, even if the going gets rough.
The Elling’s clever utilisation of space means there’s more than enough room aboard for over ten people. Whether you are entertaining a couple of special friends or taking a large family party out for the day there’s ample room and seating on deck, in the wheelhouse and in the lower saloon.
Below decks the Elling is incomparable – enter the lower saloon and the daylight flooding in from the wheelhouse windows gives you the feeling that this is a spacious 60ft yacht. Comfortable ergonomic seating and the curved couch invite you to sit back and relax. There’s even a wide screen TV which pops up, or stows away, at the touch of a button. The separate galley, with full size four zone hob, microwave, dishwasher, washer-dryer, large fridge and separate freezer, plus two ample Corian worktops, make cooking a pleasure. There’s even a wine cellar under the galley floor – who needs home?
The super seaworthy Elling has no fly bridge, but a sturdy wheelhouse with a comfortably elevated steering position and an excellent field of vision. Lower the mast at the flick of a switch and pass bridges with a 3.45 metre clearance. Whether exploring the French canals, or cruising the inland waterways on the US east coast, you can therefore navigate with ease. Full double glazing, central heating and air conditioning will keep you comfortable from the tropics to the arctic circle.
The fact that there is just one main engine means that the centre of gravity is low. This gives the hull stability is excellent and in the unlikely event of the vessel capsizing in very heavy seas it will right itself, just like a lifeboat. The complete hull (not just a few areas likely to receive occasional knocks) is reinforced with amazingly tough Aramid Fibre. Twaron or Kevlar, well known for its bullet proof qualities. If you were unfortunate enough to collide with an object under the waterline the impact will be absorbed without catastrophic consequences. An additional feature of this amazing material is its excellent sound absorption qualities which allows you sleep safe and sound in your bed at night. The double glazed windows are tested to resist the pressure of a column of water at least 10 metres high – so they are easily tough enough to handle repeated battering by the heaviest waves. There will be occasions when you want to be somewhere else in a hurry – it may be that a larger vessel is bearing down on you, or that a storm is approaching and you need to reach port before it breaks. The 600hp engine gives you a top speed of 18+ knots, so you know that if trouble is heading your way you have ample power to take you to safety. We fervently believe that it is better to be safe than sorry – and this philosophy.
The E-Series have a single engine. It is reliable and easily maintained with a quick daily check. However, there’s always the risk of a fouled propeller or contaminated fuel causing an unavoidable engine malfunction. That’s why we offer the additional security of an auxiliary wing engine and a separate fuel tank. It has a sail drive to save space and a folding propeller to reduce drag. This results in a far more reliable solution to a traditional twin engine configuration.
