Schooner Elena
Specification
The original Elena was a pure bred racing schooner, built to be as light as possible. The design is remarkably true to the original spirit, only adding features deemed essential to modern day comforts. These include silent running generators with 600 horsepower engine, bow thruster and luxurious cabins but none of these have been allowed to compromise her original lines and speed.
