Overview Elettra is a 25-metre sloop launched in 1987, originally named Marina. One of three identical 25 m fibreglass sloops, she condensed Perini Navi's automation, architectural thinking and onboard comfort into a compact composite form and was awarded the 1987 Media Sea Italia Trophy.
Design Identity Elettra is distinguished by a hemispherical helm wheel that wraps the navigation pod and by a cockpit fully integrated into a permanent enclosure designed for year-round al fresco living. A recessed half-deck pilot house between cockpit and saloon creates a fluid connection to a 23 m² dining area below. Interiors by PERINI NAVI provide 45 m² for owner and guests and 12 m² for crew.
A compact revolution Launched in 1987, Elettra translated Perini Navi concepts into a more agile scale. She combines a lifting keel reducing draft to 1.56 m with an unusually generous 115 m² cockpit layout for a vessel of this length, balancing proportion and practicality.
Innovative Highlights Composite construction for hull and superstructure reduced displacement while maintaining strength. A retractable bow thruster improved handling in confined waters and a feathering propeller enhanced sailing performance. Elettra introduced engineering features commonly found on larger yachts into a compact platform.
