After 8 years under construction, the "Electric Lamb" was
launched in Fremantle in January 1981. She headed North in
June '81 and has been cruising around Indonesia ever since.
The eLamb has travelled from Ambon in the East to Singapore
and visited a lot of amazing places between.
HISTORY
The "Lamb" or Echo Lima as she is know locally, has covered
well over 200,000 nm since her arrival in
Indonesia.
In 1982, the Lamb won her class in the Darwin to
Ambon International Yacht race setting a mono-hull record
of 84 hrs that stood for over 8 years. Best days run
(24hrs) was 252nm under sail. Rick later released the
secret behind her amazing performance in her first
race..... beer ballast!
She was carrying the race committee's stash of kegs for the
post race party all stowed under the starboard bunks. The
wind blew hard from the SE for almost the entire race and
EL astounded race officials by finishing only 1hr 13
minutes behind a 50ft crowther catamaran "Wimbral".
Electric Lamb pioneered surf
breaks in Sumba '81, Lombok '82, South coast Java '82,
Panaitan '83 and Sumatra '93 till
today.
A true veteran among surf charter yachts. These days the
sails are more a back-up and her rig has been modified to
better suit her charter boat role. She is one of the most
fuel efficient boats in the Mentawais burning only 1.2 tons
per trip ..... about 20% of the carbon footprint of most
other charter boats in the area.
