S/Y Ellen, a classic 40.4-meter motor sailer yacht, was delivered in 2001 by the esteemed Italian builder Perini Navi. Previously known as Ellen V, Lady Lauren, and Thetis, this superyacht embodies the distinctive Perini Navi philosophy of combining sailing grace with comfort. She features a beam of 8.0 meters, a significant draft of 6.4 meters (with a retractable centerboard allowing for a shallower draft when raised), and a volume of 210 GT. All aspects of her design, including the exterior, interior, and naval architecture, were meticulously crafted by Perini Navi, reflecting their iconic 1990s style with a classic aft-raking transom and elongated flying bridge sundeck. Her interior showcases warm cherry wood joinery and a high-volume layout. Ellen offers comfortable accommodation for up to 9 guests, alongside dedicated quarters for a crew of 6, including the captain. Constructed with a durable steel hull and an aluminium superstructure, she is powered by twin MTU engines. These provide a cruising speed of 10.0 knots and a top speed of 12.0 knots. She carries 25,000 liters of fuel and 8,600 liters of water. Ellen is equipped with servo-assisted sail control, twin-screw propulsion, and Perini spars with furling systems, making her a capable and comfortable cruiser. Ranked as the 2799th largest yacht globally and the 57th largest built by Perini Navi, Ellen underwent a significant refit in 2015, which included new sails, fresh paint on masts, superstructure, hull, and bottom (sandblasted and recoated), as well as new teak decks and updates to all mechanical and electrical systems. She received further cosmetic refits in 2020 and a class renewal and repaint, including masts, in 2025. This expertly maintained superyacht is currently available for sale at an asking price of €9,300,000.
