Schooner Elena

Race the legend

‘Build me a schooner that can win’. As a brief, it’s brutally, yet beautifully simple. But that’s exactly what Elena achieved. Winner of countless regattas, this remarkable racing schooner truly gained her ribbons when she triumphed in the 1928 Trans-Atlantic Race. Today, her unforgettable blend of beauty and sheer speed has inspired this contemporary re-creation. Built to the exacting standards of N.G. Herreshoff, her original designer, Elena is once again competing against historic rivals in classic regattas. Sailing on Elena is both exhilarating and luxurious, an experience which blends a fusion of classic emotion with modern comforts and technology.
