Rob Humphreys drew this fairly typical aft-cockpit fast cruiser in 1995.
Short overhangs and a long waterline give her a snub-nosed look, but she
is not unattractive and her high topsides are well-disguised. She has fine
bow sections for upwind performance, moderate rocker and U-shaped
hull sections flattening out at the keel into a straightish run aft, and
powerful quarters for good offwind speed. She is responsive and rewarding
on the helm.
There’s a definite charter-boat feel below decks – Elan’s home market
is, after all, the Med – and she’s fitted-out for coastal cruising, rather than
serious ocean-going. The accommodation boasts 6.5in headroom and
comprises an amply-proportioned but somehow cluttered-looking saloon,
two double cabins aft and a spacious forecabin. The rather small heads and
long galley are ranged along the port side of the saloon: not ideal for cooking
in a seaway. She has a forward-facing chart table and large, U-shaped dinette
to starboard. Stowage space is generous throughout.
