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 will once again compete against historic rivals in classic regattas. She will be available for charter in these regattas as well as cruising in the Mediterranean and Caribbean. Crewed by an experienced team, sailing on Elena is both exhilarating and luxurious – getting to those hidden anchorages in comfort and style.
