The traditional interior 3 cabin layout offers luxurious bow cabin with spacious head department and separate shower stall. For larger crew 4 cabin layout makes sense.

The new Elan 450 will also feature: twin steering wheels, cockpit table stored in dedicated space in cockpit floor, dedicated space for sprayhood, main sheet traveler mounted on cockpit floor, 3 pairs of winches, flush hatches on coachroof, open bow pulpit, life raft storage…
Head stay furler is recessed under deck as is the swiveling stemhead fitting for anchor. The non-overlaping headsail configuration makes handling even more easier. Transom can be open for more comfortable access to the sea. Retractable bow sprit makes sailing with gennaker easier handled by helmsman. The launch is scheduled for autumn.
