This Elliott design pilothouse, wheel steering and other cruising features never seen on any previous yacht has good visibility and enjoyed from the helm position on all points of sail.

Zora IV is constructed of double skin kauri, the yacht has a 50hp Yanmar diesel and fixed three-blade propeller, and a very conservatively-sized rig. Intended for comfortable shorthanded cruising.Access for'ard down the side decks is excellent, there being plenty of deck and handrails to ensure a safe passage for'ard The Hibiscus Masts rig is a three-quarter configuration with swept spreaders and in true Elliot style, no backstay.

Both fuel and water tanks are of stainless steel with capacities of 160L. The space beneath the single berth, as well as housing the pressure pump system, is again devoted to general stowage.

There being no concern about weight aboard this cruising yacht, the chainplates and keel floors are massive. The six keel floors, supporting 10 25mm keel- bolts, are 100 x 180mm. The 50hp Yanmar mounted with a horizontal-7 degree angle drive.

Toilet compartment to port and is a hand pump Raritan. A teak shower grate is fitted, but as yet no shower. The hand basin, complete with hot and cold pressure water, and vanity space is fitted opposite to starboard. This is a very roomy area. Further for'ard of this is a workshop bench with a 4 cu ft freezer beneath. Ample sail stowage is available in the forepeak. The 18 x 16 prop produces a cruising speed of around 10 knots. With this kind of motoring power, Zora IV is a true motor sailer, being clearly capable of punching home into a strong wind and sea should those aboard not be keen on a stiff upwind sail. Weighing in at 5 ton.
