Why an Elan
Yacht?
Safety
All Elan
yachts are built under the stringent criteria and supervision of
Germanischer Lloyd –marine surveyors since 1866 and employing over 2000
staff Worldwide – they are Europe’s leading maritime safety certifiers.
Performance
The Elan
racer/cruiser series are designed by Rob Humphreys whose design work
includes Oyster, Southerly, BT Global Challenge, Kingfisher, GBR AC
Challenge and many more. Rob’s principal criteria are on-water performance
AND attractive lines in the classic racer/cruiser fashion – in other words
it must be a good runner on the water but also look good in the bay. An
Elan yacht evokes “pride of ownership”.
Build Quality
Elan build in a
semi-custom way. The hulls and decks are constructed with vacuum infusion
lamination giving a superior fibre to resin ratio that cannot be achieved
with hand lamination. The hull to deck and hull to grid joints are bonded
and taped with the hull to deck joint also bolted through. Vinylester
resin is used in the outer layers below the waterline for long term
osmosis protection. The interiors are handcrafted by quality tradesmen to
give an understated elegance and durability.
Component Quality
Elan do not
skimp either when it comes to fitting out their yachts – Volvo engines,
Harken deck gear, Selden rigs, Furlex furling systems, Lewmar steering,
Isotherm refrigeration, Lofrans capstans and Raymarine electronics – all
leading brands supported around the World.
Value
Elan yachts are
not the cheapest on the market. Price is today, value comes with time. A
well constructed yacht more readily holds its value into the future. Elan
prices are well placed among the competition. But if you want a cheap
yacht – don’t buy an Elan.
