The word “bespoke” gets tossed around a lot in the marine industry, but Thomas Tison ’s latest creation is truly deserving of that descriptor.

The French naval architect, who is currently working for the British America’s Cup team, has unveiled an elegant new vessel that was custom-built for a client seeking a cross between a high-speed racer and a classic wooden sailing yacht . The end result is a 49-footer that eschews the current trend of minimalist, carbon-fiber raceboats in favor of what Tison describes as “a timeless prestige.”

Christened Elida , the slick offshore cruiser sports curved and tensed lines, with a pronounced flare, an inverted sheer line and a rounded turn of the bilge. Tison’s eponymous firm developed a unique construction method for the hull in which Alaskan light wood was reinforced with woven carbon fiber. This results in an incredibly light yet stiff frame. In fact, Tison even carried out in-depth testing at an Airbus facility to check the material’s strength.

In addition, the hull shape was optimized with computational fluid dynamics to ensure it performs well in the light to medium wind conditions experienced in most regattas. The team also developed a new lifting keel system to reduce the draft from 10.5 feet down to roughly eight feet and installed innovative carbon rigging to provide competitive gains whilst racing. According to Tison, Elida can reach nearly 30 knots at full tilt. That speed was a requisite for the owner, who plans to race in the prestigious Fastnet Race and other regattas.

“The key to realizing the owner’s vision is having an in-depth understanding of his underlying needs,” Tison said in a statement. “Even though it’s a process that takes time, this deep exploration allows us to come up with unique solutions for creating unique boats.”

Another request from the owner was to create a comfortable living area onboard for his family. After penning several layouts, the team settled on an open-plan interior that sees the aft cabins flow onto the main living section and the chart table tucked behind the companionway. This allowed for a longer cockpit and freed up space for a garage. To top it off, Tison engineered a custom heating and ventilation system. The Frenchman even thought about acoustics and made sure that the yacht had a good level of sound insulation.

Elida was recently launched in Germany and is now on her way to one very happy owner.

First look: Tison 48 Elida – wooden stunner

• Toby Hodges
• November 22, 2022

Wood and high tech materials combine in the Tison 48 to create a state of the art offshore racer-cruiser with gleaming varnished mahogany topsides

Product Overview

The stunning Tison 48 design combines engineered timber construction with high-tech materials including strategic use of carbon. Designer Thomas Tison, a structural engineer with an America’s Cup and aerospace background, created a custom laminate for the boat that he tested at Airbus’s engineering facility.

The result is a hull shell that weighs only 1,000kg, yet will withstand similar forestay loads to a TP52. This allows for a very hefty keel bulb, with a 45% ballast ratio, while keeping overall displacement low. The hydraulic lifting keel has an unusually deep maximum draught of 3.20m, so the boat is less reliant than most on form stability.

It’s therefore a single rudder design with a wide flared transom that reduces wetted surface area in light airs but still provides additional stability when heeled at high angles. Custom systems include a retractable drive that eliminates drag when sailing.

Elida was created for a client seeking a yacht with longevity to replace the family’s existing Swan 48 and was launched by Jan Bruegge Bootsbau in Hamburg this summer. Sea trial photos show its unique style – a state of the art offshore racer-cruiser with gleaming varnished mahogany topsides.

Tison 48 specifications

LOA: 14.75m / 48ft 5in Beam: 4.45m / 14ft 7in Draught: 2.50-3.20m / 8ft 2in to 10ft 6in Displacement: 7,760kg / 17,100lb Price: POA Designer: Thomas Tison Builder: janbruegge.de

Ministry Name: 

Base Location:

Mimergatan Gothenburg, Sweden

Vessels Operated:

Types of Ministries:

Discipleship, Missions / Outreach

Areas of Operation:

Atlantic Ocean

Key People: Stefan Abrahamsson

Ministry overview

Elida is known by many as “the sailing church”  , because during the summers we are often seen in ports along our coasts with music, song and life stories presenting the Christian faith.

We also sail with many hundreds of young people each year who confirm themselves and either read their confirmation with us or come to camp with the church they have chosen to confirm themselves.

Our wish is that everyone feels welcome on board to do a wonderful sailing, see how the boat looks, ask questions or to take part in the community.

Although confirmation sails take up a large part of our calendar, we also have other types of sailing that are suitable for anyone to join – you do not have to believe in God or be church in any way. On the other hand, one should know that Elida is a place where we wish to have high ceilings and where there are many opportunities for reflection and conversation. The opportunity is given to “taste the Christian faith but there is no compulsion to buy” as the Captain usually says.

We are not in ourselves a church but Elida is an all-Christian organization where everyone who works aboard is connected to a home congregation where you come from and Elida could also be called the extended arm of the church, which aims to present the universal church, the Bible , Jesus and the Christian faith.
