English
"Elektra" is a very beautiful, luxury yacht, and in our opinion one of the prettiest afloat.
During 2016 she received some significant updates including; mast, teak deck and standing rigging all replaced 2016.
Her clean, elegant lines together with generous space on deck and below makes this yacht an excellent representative of the Sweden Yacht philosophy. The search for perfection in every detail is found in the quality of finish, the functional layout and the integrity of construction.
She is fast on all points of sail, beautifully balanced at the helm and has good stability thanks to its low centre of gravity and high righting moment. She is a wonderfully responsive, incredibly strong sailboat that can handle various wind and sea conditions keeping her crew safe in all weathers.
She can reach speeds up to 8 knots in light winds and up to 12 knots in strong winds. She can point well upwind and run smoothly downwind, with or without a spinnaker.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire this quality built luxury Swedish yacht.
Well equipped and ideal for long distance cruising or racing. She has three generous sized cabins plus the saloon and a large sail suite.
Constantly upgraded and maintained by her experienced owners, "Elektra" must be seen to be fully appreciated.
