Elan

Elan began its journey in 1949, initially producing kayaks and canoes. The company entered sailboat manufacturing in the 1970s and gained international recognition with its early models. The collaboration with renowned yacht designer Rob Humphreys in the mid-1990s marked a significant development for Elan, resulting in several award-winning designs. Notable models like the Elan 340 and 350 were voted European Yacht of the Year in 2007 and 2011, respectively. Elan’s boats are designed to provide a perfect balance between performance and comfort. This philosophy is embodied in the 60/60 design rule, aiming to satisfy both racing enthusiasts and cruising lovers by making each group feel that 60% of the boat’s design caters to their needs.
