Elan Impression 45.1
Oct 10, 2019
Revising existing models instead of developing completely new yachts has become somewhat of a trend among many builders. There are boats in the market which have been updated several times over the last ten or fifteen years. So did Elan: The Slowenian brand has just released the 4th iteration of her 45-footer. With a new deck and a completely revamped interior the boat has gained a lot of appeal for both owners and charter skippers with three to four cabins and six to ten berths if the salon sofa and table are converted into a bed.
The European Yacht of the Year nominated Elan Impression 45.1 now has a long and wide cockpit, defined by twin wheels, a split cockpit table, and a foldable sunbed. Boasting a modern vertical transom, two large cockpit storage boxes were added, which can also be equipped with a grill, sink, or fridge. Customers can now opt for a sportier look with an open transom configuration or choose the safety and comfort of a closed transom option with a large bathing platform. One of the additional changes immediately apparent is the addition of a new window, illuminating the back cabins and building upon her immediately recognisable shape. The new interior is spacious and practical, for comfortable owner use as well as a charter investment.
