As our flagship in Northern California, ELAN VITAL is likely to split some duty duty between Ala meda and it's home slip in Berkeley. As expected, we will be continuing in downtown Sausalito with ASESU, a stunning, forty-three foot 1929 Stephens. Also, we have a new fifty foot Stephesn enroute north and we are currently negotiating for another art deco Elco sedan from the forties for Alameda and Napa. So, stay tuned to hear more about new vessels and deployments! This all means that the time available on the Northen California fleet will be limited so you should act now to secure your membership in the Vintage Yacht Club.
