ELENA 6 - ELEONORA 0, report from Le Voiles de St. Tropez 2009
« on: October 06, 2009, 02:14:32 PM »
6 - 0 in favor of ELENA is the current race standing of the two replica schooners following 5 straight days of racing at le voiles de St Tropez  last week.   The experience of going head to head in these 200+ ton schooners was amazing.   Even though I hoped the yachts would be trading wins, I can't say I'm disappointed with the results.  The 55 crew on ELENA worked tremendously well together and the after guard included all the talent you could hope for when it comes to large schooner racing.  I'll get a more detailed race report and pictures together later.  Have to tend to my full voice mail box at the moment...Adam

PS - the NY40 ROWDY won overall.

That third shot is great.

55 crew ?  I guess that pretty much rules out a spur-of-the-moment Saturday afternoon spin?

Nice video of some of the racing  last fall - captures some of the non-sense that surrounds the event and makes it special.

That was certainly Halsey at the helm in one shot.  Now, was it Elena or Elenora?

All of that onboard schooner footage is from ELENA, but if you want to see pictures of HH driving ELEONORA I have those as well...

I'm not in RI at the moment, but I happen to have one on this computer - ELEONORA sailing in NY Harbor, July 2008.





PS - ELENA is officially for sale, EUR 8,900,000.....

I think all boats are for sale ... but at over $10MM, this one will have to wait until my next bonus ;)

It's not the 10 mil that gets me - it's how much one would have to spend a year to keep it maintained...
