About the ELLIOTT 10.5
The Elliott 10.5 is a compact, performance-oriented cruiser designed by Greg Elliott and built by Elliott Type Yachts/Eagle Yachts. With a production run of 22 hulls completed in 1981, this fractional sloop offers a blend of racing pedigree and coastal cruising comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat suits active coastal cruisers and short-handed sailors who prioritize sailing performance and agility over heavy bluewater displacement. Its fractional rig and moderate displacement make it ideal for those seeking a responsive, easy-to-handle package for bay and coastal waters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 8510.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.38, the Elliott 10.5 is primarily designed for coastal cruising rather than extended offshore passages. Its fin keel and moderate comfort ratio of 14.51 suggest it is best suited for protected waters and short offshore trips.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the O'Day 34 and Pearson 35, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and coastal cruising roles from the early 1980s. These vessels offer similar beam and draft characteristics, appealing to owners seeking manageable size with respectable performance.
