Elan fleet heads to SIBS

This September, Slovenian yacht manufacturer Elan Yachts will showcase a vessel from each of its three lines – E, Impression and GT – on the water at Southampton International Boat Show.

In addition to the three yachts, Elan will be revealing news about its new project at the show – a collaboration between Elan, naval architect Rob Humphreys Design, designer Pininfarina, and composite specialist Gurit.

“We cannot reveal the name of the yacht yet,” says Marko Škrbin, director of the Marine Division at Elan Yachts. “But we can say that it will be among the largest Elan yachts. It will focus on the performance side of our range, and it will challenge our capabilities and push the boundaries in terms of technology and design. However, in concept and spirit, this yacht will represent more of a return to our roots; it will be a yacht for true and demanding sailors that also provides comfortable living aboard.”

The Elan fleet on-water at SIBS:

Elan E4
First up is the 35ft Elan E4. Developed to satisfy diverse modes of sailing, from short-handed sailing to crewed racing or family cruising, the E4 has the twin rudders, a broad stern and chined hull.

Below deck, the E4 offers a comfortable two-cabin layout. The alternative three-cabin layout offers another aft cabin, accommodating two more crew.

Elan Impression 40.1
From the Impression line is the 40.1. Designed with cruising comfort in mind, the on-deck systems is said to allow for easy sailing especially when short-handed, while the vertical transom affords more cockpit space, a modern look, and the option of a large or small bathing platform.

The spacious saloon’s double-sized table comes with the option of creating an additional berth, while the functional L-shaped galley features a 130lt front-opening fridge.

Available in four different cabin layout configurations, the Impression 40.1 can be customised to suit customers’ cruising needs.

Elan GT6
Designed by Humphreys Yacht Design, the Elan GT6 is optimised for short-handed medium-range cruising.

Unique styling by Studio F. A. Porsche gives the GT6 an elegant silhouette with sharp, distinctive lines. Below deck, the cleverly inverted layout makes the best possible use of the spacious, broad-beamed hull.

A wide range of layout options and configurations are available, ensuring accommodation, systems and stowage can be tailored to an owner’s requirements and sailing style.
