Stargazer is white on the outside since we expect to sail in the tropics for the vast majority of the time. The transom and cockpit have synthetic teak which is easy to clean and looks very traditional and stays cool since those areas are mostly shaded
The Elba 45 is designed by Olivier Racoupeau and sports an aerodynamic look. The chine has been modified from previous design for 10% drag reduction and increased speed at low and moderate winds.
The large seating area on the upper deck is fantastic for stargazing as is the seating area in the bow. The cockpit is has the standard seating areas as well as some great spots to nap on below each overhang.
The helm is perfectly situated halfway up and allows for easy communication with the saloon and galley. The view of three corners is easy and if you position yourself correctly you can see the port stern as well.
