General Description
ELLIDA
1958, Ohlson Brothers Yawl, 35'
ELLIDA is a fine example of the classic Ohlson 35 yawls. She was designed by Einar Ohlson and built by the Ohlson Brothers in Gothenburg, Sweden, as part of a racer/cruiser class intended for export to the United States. Built in 1958 (hull #12 of a class of 48 boats built) ELLIDA spent her fitst 26 years (under three owners) in Chesapeake Bay before moving (with her fourth owner) to the coast of Maine. In 1984 her present (fifth ) owners purchased her in Belfast, Maine, and moved ELLIDA to Lake Champlain where she has remained since that time being sailed in the spring, summer and fall and carefully stored (inside) and diligently maintained these last 38 years.
Over the years in her Vermont home waters and boat yards she has been carefully maintained and upgraded, including new ribs, new deck, new planking as needed, new floor timbers as needed, new keel timber, new stem, new horn timber, new sails as needed and received annual attention to paint, varnish and systems each winter.
ELLIDA has garnered an impressive collection of best in class or best in show awards at the Lake Champlain Antique and Classic Boat Society boat shows. In 2022 Ellida won a silver award at the International Antique and Classic Boat Society show which was held on Lake Champlain.
After 38 years of ownership age is catching up with her present stewards and they wish to downsize their wooden boating activities in order to pursue other interests. It is their hope that a new generation of sailors will come along and purchase ELLIDA, love her as much as they have, and carry on the mantle of stewardship of this classic lady.
