24' 15 Square Meter Class Sloop (1958) - ELVENA

Elevena is one of only a handful of suriving boats of the national German 15 sqm race dinghy class. Pre WWII around 800 boats were built to tolerant specs which allowed designers to experiment with many different shapes and lengths. Measured sail area is 15 sqm, true upwind about 20 sqm plus 25 sqm Spinnaker. A race crew of 2 is mandatory.
Elevena ist a late follower, built in 1958 from Khaya, Mahogany and Oak by private builders, but the class never re-emerged post war. She is under a continuous renovation program and competes in classic boat races as well as during an annual meeting of the class.
