ELTON

Bill Tripp's naval architecture gives ELTON a distinctive profile that transforms how she moves through the water, her 31.7-meter hull cutting through swells with the purposeful grace that only comes from thoughtful design. Donald Starkey's interior vision creates an entirely different rhythm below deck, where classical proportions meet the practical demands of extended cruising. Under sail, her beam of 7.2 meters provides the stability that lets guests move freely across her decks, whether gathering around the cockpit as the afternoon light shifts or finding quiet corners to watch the horizon change. The interplay between Tripp's exterior lines and Starkey's interior spaces creates something rare aboard sailing yachts of this vintage—a sense that every angle and surface has been considered not just for function, but for how it feels when you're actually living aboard her. With five crew attending to eight guests, there's an intimacy to the experience that larger vessels simply cannot replicate, where conversations flow as naturally as the wind across her sails and every meal becomes an occasion worth remembering.
