Here comes Lelantina
This schooner was launched as Lelanta II and is a larger version of Lelanta, owned by Ralph St. Peverley, who commissioned her from John G. Alden, an acclaimed sailor and ocean racing skipper. Alden’s boats are themselves world-renowned for their solidity and beauty. For Lelanta’s riveted steel build, Peverly chose the Abeking & Rasmussen shipyard in Germany, which also built cutting-edge German submarines. In 1987, her main deck had to be completely replaced, but her two spruce masts have survived the test of time. In 2002 and 2004, she finished second in her class at the Vele d’Epoca in Imperia.
