Element Yachts originally began life as the P.C. Mould Company. P.C. Mould produced the historic Dragonfly sailboat under license and re-formed in their present location as Contour Yachts. Contour Yachts produced the unique and well regarded 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 catamaran sailboats. Contour Yachts produced boats in sizes from  to over  in length and many continue to sail on the Great Lakes and around the world today. The construction and build quality of the Contour boats have been a key feature in the magazine reviews of the day. 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 very active in the boating and sailing industry in Canada for many years and actively race on historic 8-metre keelboats and have patented a method of sailboat mast manufacturing.
