Description

Extremely rare to the market, ELEONORA 2 is a 2008-launched example of the Groupe Finot designed semi-custom Cigale 18m from Alubat in France. Conceived as a safe, fast and comfortable bluewater cruising yacht, the basis of the Cigale 18m is a slippery chined aluminium hull with broad transom, heavily roached mainsail an a cutter rig free of back-stays, supported by three sets of swept back spreaders. The inclusion of water ballast tanks aft allows for a manageable fixed draft of 2.90m (removing the complication of lifting keels) and helps to create an unsinkable hull. The last of three Cigale 18’s built. ELEANORA was delivered to her current and only owner in 2008. Fitted out with a comprehensive bluewater specification and with a customised interior layout designed to provide enormous versatility with or without crew. Having taken line honours in the 2014 ARC+ with a crossing time from the Mindelo to Saint Lucia of just 12 days, ELEONORA’s ocean capabilities are well proven. Coupled with her ultra-low maintenance unpainted aluminium topsides and synthetic teak decking, ELEONORA would be an ideal candidate for those planning a circumnavigation or high-latitudes adventure. ELEONORA 2 boasts many specification highlights including:- • Aluminium hull, deck and superstructure construction with unpainted topsides • Synthetic teak decks for zero-maintenance • 2.90m torpedo bulbed lead keel • Semi-skegged aluminium rudder • Water ballast system created aft crash structure and unsinkable hull form • Versatile 4-cabins 4-heads layout with aft saloon and stunning cherry interior joinery • Aft targa-arch providing support for solar panels, antennas and high-mounted dinghy davit for safe passagemaking in following seas • Sloop/cutter rig with low boom and heavily roached mainsail, for lower centre of gravity and increased stability. Triple swept-back spreaders removing need for backstays. • Recently replaced standing rigging • Lewmar powered winches • Furling code sail • 92hp Yanmar diesel engine with shaft drive and 4-bladed MaxProp • Retractable bowthruster • Northern Lights generator • Inverter • Solar panel array • Dessalator watermaker • Air-conditioning • Diesel-fired cabin heating • Washing machine • Updated Raymarine instruments with radar, plotters and twin autopilots • SSB radio with Pactor modem • Satellite phone system • Dinghy with outboard engine
