SAILING REGATTAS
Fantastic performance under sail will make S/Y Elena a favorite for sailing regattas, while her luxurious 5 cabin interior will appeal to families more interested in conventional sail boat charters. True to her racing spirit, this reincarnated superyacht promises both beauty and grace under sail as well as uncompromising speed.
GUEST ACCOMMODATIONS AND INTERIOR
Guest cabins are exquisitely finished with mahogany paneling while all interior ornamental details closely follow the original Herreshoff drawings. The beautiful varnished mahogany panels are accentuated by white painted ceilings and ceiling beams.
STATEROOM NAMES
In tribute to the original designer and builder, each cabin is named after a famous Herreshoff schooner:
CABIN DETAILS
First, Katoura. She is the Owner’s cabin, boasts a large double bed, and the wide dimensions allow space for a full writing desk.
Second, the Westward cabin also offers a double bed. Third, the optional Captain’s cabin, Irolita, has another double bed. Fourth and Fifth, the two twin cabins, Ingomar and Mariette, are located adjacent to one another on the starboard side.
ENSUITE BATHS
Ensuite bathrooms have separate showers and toilets and are finished with elegant, period-simulated fittings. There is ample closet space and an abundance of natural light through the overhead skylights as well as three portholes in every stateroom, and four in the owner’s cabin.
