Elida V, the next generation of the long-running missionary boats Elida, is going to be launched on the 4th of June at Hunnebostrand, Sweden.

Elida V is a performance megayacht, 45 meters tall and 40 meters long and with performance that overcomes most boats. In fact, Elida V is supposed to be Sweden’s fastest megayacht today. In comparision to the older boats, Elida V is built of modern plastic materials, which gives a very light but strong construction. Elida IV weighed 250 tons but Elida V, which is longer, taller and wider, weighs in at quite exactly 100 tons.

Still, with a new boat, the focus remains the same. Elida continues to preach the good news of the Gospel, the message about Jesus Christ. The launch will take place at about 3 pm, and there will be many things to do in addition to the launch.

I will be there with my family and watch the ship that I will work on the next year take its maiden voyage on the Swedish West Coast.
