The story
Element Yachts began life as the P.C. Mould Company. P.C. Mould produced the Dragonfly sailboat under license and re-formed in their present location as Contour Yachts.
Contour Yachts produced the Contour line of sailing trimarans throughout the 1980s and 1990s. These 3-hulled sailing craft offer excellent stability and speed compared to mono hull or catamarans. Contour Yachts produced boats in sizes from 30 feet (9.1 m) to over 50 feet (15 m) in length. The construction and build quality of the Contour boats were a key feature in magazine reviews. Contour is a historical name and fixture in the Canadian yachting and boating industry. Their efforts helped develop the trimaran as a serious sailing vessel, which are now recognized as stable and high-speed platform for lake and ocean sailing.
When the founder retired, the rights to the Contour sailboat line was sold off and the 2nd generation took over and reformed the company as Element Yachts. The founder and family have been active in Canada's boating and sailing industry for many years. They actively race on historic 8-metre keelboats and patented a method of sailboat mast manufacturing.
