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 of which are leading brands supported all around the World.
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.
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.
