Why ELENA OF LONDON

About ELENA OF LONDON

ELENA OF LONDON is living history under sail, a meticulous recreation of the historic schooner Elena that set a trans-Atlantic race record in 1928. This 55-metre yacht captures the beauty and sheer speed of a traditional racing schooner, while adding the modern-day luxuries that make a week aboard as comfortable as it is thrilling.

Guest accommodation

Ten guests are hosted in five cabins finished in warm, classic style by Steve McLaren. A crew of 8 sails her in the traditional way and looks after guests, bringing the schooner and her story to life.

Onboard comfort & entertainment

The sailing is the spectacle here, feeling her heel and surge under a classic rig, but there is real comfort too, with the choice of dining on deck or in the formal dining room. She is a yacht for lovers of heritage and adventure alike.

Performance & range

ELENA OF LONDON sails in the traditional manner at around 10 knots, with more under power, and her deep 5.2-metre draft and tall rig make her a genuine blue-water racing schooner.

Toys & tenders

A thoughtful selection of water toys and a tender travel with her for swim stops and shore trips. Tell us where you would like to sail and the crew will have everything ready.
