Wait, is it the boat that ignores the spherical attribute or the entity that commands the boat?

Can an elf sail to the undying lands commanding a human built vessel?

I think you have to be an elf building a ship and convince each plank individually that the world is flat

It’s neither, it’s the Will of Eru Illuvatar that determines whether you can travel the Straight Road or not. Ælfwine travelled the Straight Road and landed at Tol Eressëa in 869AD after fleeing the Danes, and he was a Man, not an Elf.

  Gimli and Frodo both also were able to sail to the undying lands

    Yeah but Ælfwine got there by accident, and wasn’t escorted by elves.
