Entry into the lower salon is a change in atmospherics more than the 4 step ingress presents. Not only does the ambiance transition from informal to formal, but the interior purview is one of spaciousness further heightened by the 6’3” headroom.  The high gloss cherry veneers with ultra-varnished trim offer a richness that is intensified by the capaciousness. Exceptional cabinetry and quality workmanship display the Dutch pedigree. A large curved settee with ergonomically designed seating to starboard offers full dining at the beautifully lacquered table. The two tucked-under cushioned stools bring the seating count to dinner for eight. Two large upholstered barrel chairs are to port flanking the flat screen retractable TV and entertainment system. Stowage is supplied by surrounding cabinets, underneath seating, and humongous holds beneath sole hatches. Opening portlights and dimmable lighting allow for personalized ambiance.

Forward portside hidden behind an elegant curved door is a large day/guest head with full height stand-up glass enclosed shower. This formal salon serves as a private entertainment area, a seclusion from window peepers when marina docked. The practical and easy to maneuver below deck puts the Elegance in Elling.

The galley is on the port side amidships, aft of the salon and one step down. With safety as an underscore, the galley can be easily navigated in high seas with the chef being securely surrounded by waist high counters and easy edges and fiddles to grab for steadying. The appliances are on the outboard side including the Siemens 4 zone ceramic cooktop stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, and microwave/convection oven. Easy to reach cabinets hold a surprising quantity of staples. Opening ports allow for fresh air ventilation with a long storage shelf beneath. Plenty of workspace on the Corian countertops, especially on the inboard side.

The inboard side also encases the engine room. In the heaven forbid event of needing to remove an engine, just break the caulk seal, lift off the countertop and cabinets and haul up the engine through the removable settee in the pilothouse. Not that this has ever been done, but it’s the beat Murphy plan of thinking ahead. The brilliance of the engine in this location is that it keeps it at the lowest amidships and centerline point of the vessel. The large panel easily lifts off with the twist of four screws giving full access to the outboard side of the engine. There are 3 additional panels easily removed for full-round engine and equipment access.

The charm and gracefulness is carried through to the master cabin. The centerline queen bed is quite comfy being supported with an elasticized slat system of mattress supports. Access to the water tank and stern thruster (with its designated battery and charger) is via a hinged bedbase. A floor hatch gives fast and easy access to the Aquamet shaft and seals.

The ensuite master head is to starboard. Plenty of mirrors, cabinets and Corian counter space. Aft of the toilet is a mechanical compartment that houses the watermaker and inverter, out of the way, yet accessible. Forward on the port side of the head is a large glass enclosed shower. To starboard of the shower and still forward is a door to a utility closet that has a watertight door to the “generator room” housing the 11KW Onan.

The forepeak cabin offers two single beds, cabinets, hanging locker, and an opening hatch for fresh air, natural lighting, or emergency escape. The full length twin bunks are plenty sufficient for kids, crew or short-term visitors. Generous hanging locker and huge storage in the bilge. There is also one of the large removable wall panels to access the outboard side of the engine.

The wine storage is right at the base of the engine access and forward is another identical one for either wine or for backup dry goods and galley stowage.

No stooping over and getting sweaty in this engine room. With the twist of a wrist, the quick release of 4 latches with a supplied tool releases the panel on the inboard side of the galley. For underway checks for temp, fluids, and engine eyeballing, this is a great way to be in the air-conditioned.

For more involved tinkering, remove one and/or two of the other panels for 270 degree access. Low noise and vibration levels are achieved with insulation consisting of multiple layers of wood, rubber, foam, aluminum and silicone and the engine bed being integrally molded into the hull. The Aquadrive anti-vibration drive system plus the Aquamet engine mounts further assure diminution of sound and vibration. The stainless steel shaft and 5 blade Nibral prop are custom designed.

The teak aft deck is so spacious that one forgets this is only a 49' yacht. There is a custom high gloss teak table and bench seating that allows 8 to be seated comfortably for alfresco dining. Plenty of floor space to increase the capacity if deck chairs are tucked away in the stowage beneath the dining settee.
