Elan

Designed to be easily handled by a couple, yet capable of exhilarating performance across a wide range of wind and sea conditions with a thoroughbred ‘feel’ at the helm, the GT6 is optimised for fast, medium-range offshore passage-making. Its hull, drawn by Humphreys Yacht Design, combines race-derived features with the ability to carry a full cruising payload. As its name implies, the GT6 is a seagoing Grand Tourer.

Above the waterline, the GT6 is the first ever sailing yacht designed and styled by Studio F. A. Porsche, with an elegant silhouette and iconic good looks that will turn heads in any marina. Key features include a next-generation ergonomic cockpit with gull-wing helm pedestals and a fully flush foredeck.

Below decks, Studio F. A. Porsche’s interior design flair brings game-changing levels of comfort and luxury to Elan’s new flagship model, while preserving the practicality of the boat as a family cruiser. Premium materials are used throughout, showcasing the fine craftsmanship of Elan’s artisan shipwrights.

Impression Yachts have designed a full range of new Deck Saloon yachts to satisfy the demanding needs of modern yachtsmen. These stunning yachts have been designed with every cruising comfort in mind. The on-deck systems allow for easy sailing especially for “short-handed” cruising whilst giving the space and comfort that you might only expect from a much larger yacht both above and below decks.

Impression 45 is in every way an impressive sailing yacht. Developed to satisfy the needs of all family members, it will be a joy for cruising vacations, whether it is the Mediterranean, the Caribbean or on a blue water crossing. Designed to ensure maximum comfort the Impression 45 is a dream to sail as well. Performance has always been a factor with all Impression Yachts and the Impression 45 will not fail to impress.

The Elan E4 has once again consolidated Elan’s reputation as a builder of exciting performance-cruising sailing yachts, where neither performance, nor the cruising capabilities are left to compromise. In addition to her elegant and sporty design, she features integrated toerails and flush hatches on the coachroof as well as new rotating plotter pods on the steering consoles, for total control over the elements. Her wide transom, twin rudder arrangement and chined hull deliver excellent control even at high heel angles. Her T-shaped keel ensures a lower center of gravity and improved righting moment, which in turn allows for a lighter displacement than would otherwise be possible.

People who admire elegant yet dynamic lines, demanding owners who seek perfect balance between comfort and performance, competitors looking for speed and safety, purists valuing attention to detail and clever features have finally found what they were searching for: the new Elan E5. Together with Elan design team we designed a new performance cruiser whose inheritance of twin rudders, hard chines and Elan’s superior VAIL (Vacuum-assisted infusion lamination) makes a big step forward in terms of clean and distinctive exterior design, carefully tuned sail plan, welcoming cockpit optimized for shorthanded sailing and interior meeting even most demanding requirements for both comfort and luxury.

After many years in design and development, Elan is proud to announce the launch of a New Concept in Yacht Design. The GT Series takes the very best design and construction techniques from Elan’s award winning performance yachts, harmonising this with the benefits of larger deck saloon yachts, to produce a truly elegant sporty cruising yacht.

Following the new Elan design the new E3 was developed with both racing performance and cruising comfort in mind. The unique combination of T-bulb keel, twin-rudder steering and twin wheels, all rare features on a design of this size, really put her in the spotlight in her class.

This is truly a multi-dimensional sailing boat. Researched and developed for the most demanding needs, it is designed to be sufficiently easy to sail to carry the badge of a starter boat, yet it is sophisticated enough in its sailing qualities to convince passionate sailors, delivering them the performance and general scope they might expect to find in a much bigger and more expensive boat.

A unique combination of VOR70 inspired design and performance, combined with a generous cockpit and comfortable interior, the Elan E3 is definitely an exciting boat to sail.

The Impression 40, a most impressive sailing yacht is designed to satisfy even the most demanding cruising families, friends and couples who really appreciate the distinctive design, style and comfort. Her welcoming Deck Saloon provides abundant natural light through the panoramic windows. The Impression 40 offers exceptional interior volume and quality finish combined with safe and easy handling whilst under sail.

The Elan E1, dubbed “the pocket rocket”, was designed for maximum ease-of-use and ease-of-ownership, while ensuring superior sailing performance associated with her bigger siblings, the E1 offers a new concept of ownership. Minimizing every stage of preparation for a sailing vacation, a number of innovative solutions enable you to pack, drive and sail in no time. Like other day sailers, Elan E1 doesn’t require a berth in the marina, thus saving considerable cost, while her limited weight doesn’t demand big towing cars.

Elan has taken the popular E range and enhanced these yachts for greater performance achieved by weight reduction in the hull and deck construction which results in an enhanced performance sailing yacht. With the absence of the interior finish, the S1 is an ideal yacht for day sailing, one design racing and sailing schools.

Impression 35 is designed for families who are discovering the magic of sailing. Families who demand a safe and forgiving yacht which allows them to steer her easily and in comfort through their voyage of learning about the joys of yachting. She benefits from the same features that set her bigger siblings apart from others, taking huge advantage of her raised Deck Saloon, filled with natural light, making her the most spacious yacht in her class.
