The Elan I45.1 is built on the modern classic charter-proven and blue-water-proven platform, designed by the famous Rob Humphreys Yacht Design studio. The Elan R&D team built on that classic design, enlarging its deck space and modernising the transom area. The yacht’s cockpit can now transform into either a large sunbathing area, a social gathering place with plenty of table space or an easily manoeuvrable sailing cockpit with grab rails positioned exactly where needed. As an additional innovation, the twin-wheel and split-table design enables quick and easy access below deck or vice versa. Should the need for additional space, a barbecue or a cold drink arise, two multipurpose boxes are a new design feature of the yacht, allowing plenty of deck equipment customisation and a convenient skipper’s seat. One can still choose a small or a large swim platform, further customising the yacht and deciding on the safe closed-transom variation or a more open transom feel.
The new Elan I45.1 cruising yacht will come in two layout variations. The four-cabin version is optimised for investors and charter use, adding two more berths and increasing the yacht’s charter efficiency while making no compromises on comfort. With the saloon berth option, the four-cabin version can host up to five couples. The three-cabin version is intended for cruising yacht enthusiasts, blue-water sailors, and seekers of comfort and relaxation. While still great for chartering, the three-cabin I45.1 will best fit families and groups of friends who love to spend their time cruising and sailing. In all versions, the aft cabins have also been improved with the addition of a new window.
