A Wayfarer built in 1962.
Eleana was built by Porters in 1962. After many years as a family boat, she was neglected and in need of attention. Author, Wyl Menmuir has been restoring her in the workshops of the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, with the support of boatbuilders, boat volunteers, artists, illustrators, filmmakers and poets. She was relaunched at the end of May 2026 and will be the subject of a book, published by Picador in 2028, on the subject of seaworthiness.
