Elf 26'

Richard Woods said: ↑ The Elf 26 started life in the mid 1980's as the Efcat that was built in Germany. It was to be a big Strider/small Skua. Sadly only three or four were built. It then morphed into the Elf 26, which was still an open deck boat. This was built in S Africa for a few years in the early 1990's. I think maybe 20 were built (the builder stopped paying me royalties so I don't know the actual number built) We then built an Elf mk2 with a central cuddy and built three or four. It is a transportable boat rather than trailable. It was too expensive to build. Most people spending GBP40000 bought a bigger used Prout or Catalac. The Elf then had another variant, the Savannah 26. This was a maxi folding boat, similar in concept to my Wizard/Sango/Skoota. Unfortunately the owner wanted an Aerorig, which was too heavy and expensive for the boat. We trailed it from Savannah to Annapolis for one boat show. The next year I sailed it there singlehanded in 8 days (6 days coming home). My first ICW experience. It had daggerboards, kickup rudders and a big cabin - needed to support the rig. It sailed well and was about the same speed as a Gemini 105 and Mainecat30 at the "Try a Multihull" demo days after the show. A lot quicker than a Lagoon 38. Only one was built, but a daggerboarded, open deck Elf would still be a quick boat. The boat being discussed is presumably the one on Vashon Island, Wa, USA. I saw it in April this year, a bit neglected and keenly for sale by the owners widow. This boat was built by the Multihull Centre, Millbrook, UK and shipped in a container to its first owner in Vancouver BC Canada. It was sold to a couple from Seattle. We met those owners a couple of years ago when we were both cruising in the Bahamas. They sold it to buy a big Fountaine Pajot and they said the Elf was a faster boat and more fun to sail. They sold it to the guy on Vashon Island. Although I still own the moulds, and can arrange a builder should you want to buy a new one I haven't promoted it, hence the lack of detail on my site. But if you scroll back through my early newsletters you'll see some reports from S African sailors. One English Elf has been owned by the same couple for nearly 15 years, although since the owner is now in his 80's I guess his sailing days will soon be numbered. You cannot get from the cuddy into the hulls, there are walkways between hull and cuddy making access forward safe and secure. And adding privacy for parents/children or guests. A bit like my 28ft Gypsy and 34ft Romany. The boat is held together with aluminium crossbeams and it has LAR keels and fixed rudders. Standing headroom in the hulls and a large sliding hatch in the cuddy giving almost standing headroom. The galley is in the cuddy, plus a dinette/double berth. Wide single bunks in the hulls. Fully moulded. Hope that helps and thank you for the kind comments about me Richard Woods of Woods Designs www.sailingcatamarans.com Click to expand...

Those photos are of a S African built open deck Elf But I have never seen them before Looks like a Dutch flag, but clearly the boat isn't in Holland - there are hills in the background, not windmills Beach cats have crossed the Atlantic, but I wouldn't sail one even overnight. But then I wouldn't sail a 60ft monohull singlehanded round Cape Horn either However an Elf is more stable than a beachcat so, as always, its the crew that fails first. I'd certainly cruise one across the English Channel (Elves have done so) or coastal sail round S Africa, or from Florida to the Bahamas. I had heard that an Elf sailed across the Atlantic, but have no confirmation on that. However a 29ft Skua (so only slightly larger than an Elf) did cross the Atlantic and cruised the Caribbean. Where would you want to sail one? Richard Woods of Woods Designs www.sailingcatamarans.com  

My immediate area is the East coast of the US, but I have always given thought to a circumnavigation upon my retirement which is approaching fast. I do agree that the crew will always surrender before most designs and it always amazes me how those designs always manage to care for crew and forgive many mistakes that the sea wouldn't. What is the waterline length to waterline beam ratio of the Elf as designed? Do you remember to what class you designed her? I don't think she is class A, but her beam and weight could mean she may be capable?  

What about the wetdeck clearance? How high?Is there a lot of slamming Do those LAR keels keep her on rail without effecting performance a lot  

I wouldn't want to do a circumnavigation in an Elf or even a Gypsy. Just too small to be comfortable - nothing to do with seaworthiness. Maybe I'm too old Not sure if you are refering to the open deck Elf or the cuddy version Certainly no problem with clearance on the open deck boat. The cuddy version has a small, narrow nacelle that is about 8in above the WL so can hit from time to time. Way better than say a Gemini or Heavenly Twins though. The Elf (either version) is a high C low B under the RCD, so probably a builder would sensibly put it in C just to save any potential litigation See my website comments and other threads here about LAR keels Richard Woods of Woods Designs www.sailingcatamarans.com

I don't see how you can circumnavigate without making major ocean crossings Even if you go north via Greenland and Iceland to Europe, you still have 1500mile approx non stop sail. I wouldn't recommend that in an Elf Many people find sailing the shorelines more dangerous than offshore sailing. Why not buy a used Gypsy which is a proven ocean cruiser eg Panama - Tahiti and Mexico- Hawaii - Vancouver My old Gypsy is for sale in the UK for much the same price as an Elf I attach a photo of the Vashon Elf to give you an idea of bridgedeck clearance Richard Woods of Woods Designs www.sailingcatamarans.com

From memory airdraft is about 43ft I suggest you look at the coats of Africa/SE Asia in a bit more detail. And you'll see the safe harbours are often far apart - like hundreds of miles. Not sure how many people have coasthopped the gulf of Benin since de Gama. Probably still not to be recommended, if for no other reason that it is all very third world and people will be unused to yachts and Americans may not be welcome. I have taken an Elf mast down using the mainsheet and boom and st steel tabernacle Richard Woods of Woods Designs www.sailingcatamarans.com

Does anyone know if any reviews have been written by nautical publishing companies on the design or if there is an owners manual available. I think it is an Elf 26MK2 Version (cuddy), but even the 26 reviews would be ok. I'm trying to establish how hard and to what conditions they sailed them.  

From my review of 2000 the first owners of the Vashon Elf reported this: "The Elf is a 26' production boat, built in the UK by the Multihull Centre and also available in South Africa. We recently had a letter from a new owner in Canada "The ELF sails like a dream! We have had little cat experience so have not really pushed the boat yet, but have seen 11.4 knots reaching. It feels great to pass 40' monohulls in all winds and on all points of sail. The 9.9hp Nissan is more than adequate. Overall the design is well thought out. Thanks for building such a great boat!" AFAIK no magazine has reviewed the Elf Mk 2 I maybe maligning you. Maybe you are an ex-marine or US SEAL. Maybe you have already ridden a motorbike round the world. But most people are not that tough or have that much travel experience. If you succeed in doing the trip you plan (in any boat, and I still wouldn't recommend the Elf for your trip) then you'll have completed a MAJOR cruise. Far harder than anything Tristram Jones did, for example and WAY harder than a non stop circumnavigation on a 60ft race boat. I haven't visited half the places you plan to visit. But I have sailed to over 40 countries, including the USSR, Brazil etc and done a lot of small multihull sailing. Maybe its that experience that makes me say "I wouldn't do it in any boat" I suggest you look at Noonsite.com and check out the Visual Passage Planner program. Several S Africans read this forum. No doubt they can tell you whether landmines are still a problem in Mozambique, and how far north you can sail before you hit the Somalia pirate problem. Richard Woods of Woods Designs www.sailingcatamarans.com  

What about trailering? Does it have to be a container or can a deck over trailer be fitted with shipping cradles to secure the hulls then maybe secure the cuddy above them on frames? Oh damn wait, the beams and mast have to ship as well. How long is the mast?

Pre-owned boats

Due to popular request we now offer this page for those who want to buy and sell their multihull. This web site is seen by thousands of people every month who are specifically interested in sailing catamarans, so it makes sense to advertise here and reach serious potential buyers.

A quote from someone who listed their boat with me: "He paid the price I was asking which I'm pleased about. I only had the boat advertised on your site and was getting an average of about one email a week. I originally thought it could take 2years to sell, what with the economic climate and all. Also it is an unusual boat but it does attract a lot of attention."

" These adverts clearly get viewed by enthusiasts. We needed a quick sale and this advert generated interest from 3 parties in the first week.  John (Belfast)"

The cost to advertise your Woods Design is £50  and the advert will run until sold.  Please use the button below to order an advert  

Or the cost is £75  if it is a non Woods Design boat. Again,  the advert will run until sold .  Please use the button below to order an advert

Boats wanted and gear for sale/wanted adverts can be put on my Forum pages. These adverts are free.

After purchasing an advert please email us with full details of your boat, including up to 4 photos.  Please note, you should send advert as plain text and photos as small separate jpegs. Doc and rtf files will not be accepted as they take too long to reformat. Thank you.

NOTE:  I have kept some old adverts online so you can get a guide to prices

Straycat - a Strider Club

StrayCat a Strider Club

We have had great fun sailing StrayCat as a family but kids grow up and interests change. So, it is time to pass her on to somebody who will get more use out of her.

She can sleep two people in each hull and has storage space for a chemical toilet. In addition, there are five other storage spaces.

StrayCat is currently afloat in Poole Harbour. All photos were taken in Aug 2024. Additional photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/vg3sLN6LZdysJLKA7

StrayCat was built in 1989 by Palamos but not launched until 2000. LOA 24ft BOA 14ft 2ins Draft 1ft 10ins Sail area 202 sq ft Construction is GRP hulls, deck and superstructure. Engine: Tohatsu 6hp 4 stroke (Long shaft Saildrive) with 25litre plastic petrol tank

Work carried out by the current owner: CopperCoat applied in 2016 and touched up in 2024. All the, stainless steel, standing rigging replaced in 2023. Gooseneck replaced in 2023. Sacrificial strip on jib replaced in 2023. Main halyard, topping lift and jib sheets replaced since 2021. Trampoline replaced in 2024.

Equipment: Zodiac 3m dinghy Outboard harness and derrick 7 fenders Life buoy Boat hook Compass Various warps

Swingcat an Eclipse 32 - Price reduction!

Swing Cat is a performance cruising catamaran with a bridgedeck. It is a Richard Woods Eclipse design measuring  9.9m in length and 5.9m on the beam.  It is built of solid wood and marine plywood and sheathed in biaxial glass fibre cloth impregnated with West-system epoxy resin.  The performance aspect of the boat comes from having daggerboards (rather than low aspect ratio keels), outboard motors for auxiliary power (rather than two inboard engines) and laminated tri-radial sails including a drifter (on a bowsprit) and a spinnaker.

Swing Cat has beaching keels and kick-up rudders so is happy drying out in tidal creeks.  Its wind generator and 6 solar panels charge 500Ah of battery storage which provides electrical energy via 12V DC and 240V AC distribution.  One can live off the grid with a high level of creature comforts while remaining connected to the shore via computers and mobile phones (if desired!). 

When on shore power in a marina, full use can be made of a microwave, toaster, electric kettle and electric heating.

The interior accommodation consists of a double cabin in the stern of each hull and single cabins in the bow of each hull, giving sleeping accommodation for 6.  The bridgedeck cabin provides comfortable seating around a large table and access to both hulls.  A cockpit awning, together with cockpit cushions, provide further shady seating in the cockpit as well as shelter from any shower.  The trampoline forward of the bridgedeck, between the hulls, is a favourite place for sunbathing, watching the sun go down, or for watching dolphins on passage.

The hulls and cabins are fully lined and insulated ensuring a cool interior on hot days and a cosy interior on cool days.  When at anchor on cold evenings a wood burning stove is available.  

Swing Cat is designed to have minimal impact on the environment.  The sources of renewable energy means there is no need to have a fossil fuel generator.  There is an electric motor for the tender.  

There is no discharge of sewerage from the boat and no conventional holding tank.  An ecological toilet ensures the separation of liquids from solids with both being captured, and disposed of, separately.  The absence of urine in the solids tank, together with the use of mechanical ventilation, ensures that using the heads is a pleasant experience!  

Swing Cat also has a grey water tank for cruising in environmentally sensitive areas. This tank retains washing-up and shower water until it is OK to discharge it – for example when dried out on a beach, grey water can be discharged only when the tide is in and the boat is afloat.

With forward-looking sonar, broadband radar, AIS Tx & Rx, VHF radio, Echomax radar reflector, electronic chart plotter, full size chart table and safety equipment, including lightning protection, Swing Cat is fully equipped for creek crawling or bluewater sailing.

Swing Cat was built by its owner starting in 2011 and was launched in 2016.  The website documenting the build and its sea trials can be found at  www.swingcat.co.uk  .  The reason for the sale is that the owner and his family no longer have as much time for sailing as they did previously.

Elf Catamaran built 2019

Oran Mara - Woods Elf 26 - Built 2019 – Ashore at Ardfern Yacht Centre, Argyll, Scotland £25,000

Oran Mara is the most recent updated design by Richard Woods and was professionally built by Elf Catamaran SRL in 2019 to Richard Woods specification. She was rigged and fitted out by Ardfern Yacht Centre in Argyll, Scotland, and has been cruised occasionally and day-sailed on the west coast of Scotland.

The Elf has a large open deck with accommodation for four. The high-roach mainsail offers an easily managed but powerful rig with slab-reefing, assisted by lazy-jacks and bag. Roller reefing controls the genoa, and there is no need to leave the cockpit for reefing either sail.

The low aspect ratio keels have a draught of 0.65m and allow access to many shallower anchorages and easy beaching. A Yamaha 9.9hp outboard (long shaft) is fixed to the centre of the aft cross beam and provides ample power.

The boat is suitable for short / single-handed sailing. She is stable, light, very responsive on the helm, fast, and points high for a catamaran. In moderate winds, speeds of 10knts are easily reached. The accommodation and equipment are suitable for short cruises and day sailing.

Hulls and Decks The hulls are hand laid up in GRP to Woods Designs specified layup with white gelcoat finish. The hull topsides and decks are of sandwich construction using PVC contour foam. The gelcoat, resin, glass fibre and foam used are Lloyd’s certificated. Hulls There is a single berth with stowage beneath at each end of each hull. There are 4 single berth cushions with covers, a chemical toilet in the starboard hull, and a draining wash basin. Cockpit Open rigid cockpit. Forward safety net. Anchor and sail lockers are incorporated into the forward end of main crossbeam. GRP 2 gas bottle in a GRP housing Seat to starboard side. Tiller steering, S/S tiller bar and two tiller extensions. Mast and Rigging Fractional rig with Plastimo roller reefing Z-Spar Aluminium Mast and Boom. Fully battened mainsail with 2 reefs and lazy jacks with bag and cover Main and jib halyard cleats, 2 Barton winches and 2 winch handles  Electrics Two batteries for engine and domestic use. Solar panel with regulator Interior lighting Int 12V sockets and USB charging points in both hulls. Navigation lights Electric panel with switches and fuse

Equipment Deck: Mooring cleats fore and aft on each hull Autohelm 2000 with custom bracket and remote controller Engine controls on port hull Lofrans Dorado 6mm electric anchor winch Mantus 11kg anchor with 30m chain and 30m multi plait cable Bow roller in S/S Solar charging panel 10w with regulator in mast beam locker Battery compartment, switches and fuse box in mast deck beam locker Chain and cable in starboard mast beam locker Six fenders Four mooring lines

Port Hull Fore and aft berths Fire Extinguisher Gas and smoke detector Switch panel – nav lights, autopilot, cabin lights and sockets Bilge pump with moveable hose Sink and folding single gas burner on worktop unit with galley storage under Folding nav table

Starboard Hull Fore and aft berths Fire Extinguisher Smoke detector Bilge pump with moveable hose Chemical toilet Wash basin

Sails (by Boatshed Wales) The mainsail is fully battened with adjustable tensioners at the luff end. Two deep slab reefs are fitted and the sail is lowered into a bag guided by lazy-jacks. The mainsheet traveller extends widely across the stern and can be used to flatten the sail in stronger winds before reefing. A kicking strap is also provided to help flatten the sail and control the boom. The genoa is hoisted with an external halyard on Plastimo roller reefing gear controlled by a line leading to the port mast beam and a cleat. The sheets are led to an adjustable track on the cockpit floor to Barton winches on each side and secured on cleats. Sail and fender lockers are built into the mast beam.

Electrics Two x 12v batteries in the port side mast beam locker. These are charged automatically by the engine and by a small solar panel on the port side mast beam locker. One battery serves the engine starter, the other supplies all navigation lights, depth sounder, cabin lights, fixed VHF radio, the autopilot, charging sockets and 2 x bilge pumps. The switch panel is fixed inside the port hull by the companionway. There are two electric bilge pumps, one in each hull, connected to roving hoses that can be used wherever needed. The Lofrans Dorado anchor winch is supplied by the domestic battery and has its own control unit and circuit breaker in the port mast beam cockpit locker.

Ground Tackle There are 2 anchors. The bower anchor has 30meters of 6mm chain spiced to 30 meters of multi-plait rope. It is lowered and recovered using the electric anchor winch, or by hand. The second anchor is a CQR pattern and provided with a rope cable only.

Instruments A portable Silva steering compass is provided. Compass holders are fixed to each hull by the main hatches, allowing the helm to move the compass on each tack to see the heading. A depth sounder is fixed to the mast beam underneath the mast foot, and the transponder is fixed to the port hull skin, ahead of the forward berth. A wind direction indicator is fitted to the mast head.

VHF Radio An ICOM fixed DSC VHF radio is fitted under the switch panel in the port hull.

Tiller Pilot The Autohelm 2000 tiller pilot is fixed to a bracket on the port hull connected to a waterproof socket inboard. The pilot can be controlled with the remote control from either hull.

Accommodation There are 2 berths in each hull, with storage lockers underneath the mattresses, and in the port hull forward berth, there are additional storage nets. USB charging points and reading lights are fixed next to each berth. A chemical toilet is provided in the starboard hull. There is a sink / stove to the side of the worktop. Gas is piped to the burner. Water is not plumbed to the sink but a drain is fitted and empties above the waterline. Water containers are stowed on deck and at the head of the port aft berth for ready use. In the port hull, a folding table is fitted for chart work and / or food preparation / dining. Food and crockery stowage is under the worktop.

As advertised, this boat is light and nimble, making it a joy for single handed sailing. The boat has seen three sailing seasons only on fresh water. With low aspect ratio keels, sailing where dagger boards fear to go is not a problem, as well as easy beaching.

The boat has plenty of room for you and a few of your friends. An extra storage compartment was built into the rear of the main hull.

The outriggers are Quattro 16 amas built for this boat. The entire boat was built new using Okoume marine plywood, Douglas fir solid framing. All plywood surfaces covered with 7 oz. Fibre Glast fiberglass and epoxy.

The spars and rigging were designed and built by US Spars. The sails, supplied by UK Sailmakers have standard rigging. The main sail 150 S.F., the jib 50 S.F.

The boat includes a Suzuki 2.5 H.P. four stroke outboard motor. The boat is trailered on a Magic Tilt aluminum trailer.
