Elan 380 - elegant high performance yacht

The Elan 380 represents a new alignment with the changing pace of the racing world, a totally new design that increases performance per unit of length to a much higher level. The hull is clean and unfettered, with a fine entry and a powerful run; with her long waterline length she achieves the dynamic feel of a much bigger boat, yet her tall, non-overlapping rig will allow her to make good account of herself in light airs as well as heavy.

Great cruising virtues
The appendages are carefully configured for balance and efficiency, and the deep span rudder will generate reassuring control. But where does this leave the cruising side of the Elan equation? Paradoxically, the long waterline approach even with its fine entry has created significant internal volume and the boat’s cruising virtues will be seen to be as appealing as ever. After all, when is it ever a problem to have speed in a cruising boat? Just when conventional, single-rudder boats are living on the edge of control, a properly-designed twin-rudder boat is just getting into gear, giving its helmsman the feel that he is running the boat down a railway line.

Elegant performance yacht
The Elan 380 is a boat for the sailor who cannot deny the thrill of rewarding top performance and handling but at the same time desires the echelon of stylish comfort for cruising with family and friends. Unmistakably a performance yacht, the Elan 380 features the many outstanding characteristics. Her clean deck enhances the freedom of movement on board. Open transom with efficient cockpit layout designed to fulfil the needs of racing crew as well the ease of handling while shorthanded cruising. The result of the extensive hydrodynamic research with the superior method of keel and rudder fixing gives the helmsman and crew a confident feeling of safety, control and comfort during navigation in every kind of sea and wind conditions.

Extraordinary comfort for crew
Below deck 2 or 3 cabins provide enough space for privacy and relaxation. Fully equipped L-shaped galley fulfils even with the toughest chef‘s demands. Spacious and airy saloon offers extraordinary comfort for crew with plenty of efficient storage and forward facing chart table. Practical solutions with superb comfort are combined with beautiful craftsmanship and attention to detail to satisfy even the highest standards normally found on much larger yachts.
