A Star Nominee at the British Yachting Awards
The British Yachting Awards, organised by the prestigious sailing publication Sailing Today and the Yachts & Yachting magazine, are a highlight in the yachting calendar. Recognised for honouring excellence and innovation in the sailing world, these awards are a testament to the industry's ongoing evolution and the contributions of various stakeholders. This year, the spotlight shines on the Elan Impression 43, a new family cruiser yacht from Elan, marking its presence as a remarkable contender in the Cruising Yacht of the Year category.
The Elan Impression 43 stands out for its unique blend of comfort, style and ease of sail. Designed by the renowned Humphries Yacht Design, it challenges conventional yacht design while offering a perfect balance for family cruising and fast sailing. The yacht boasts a modern, sleek exterior and a spacious, well-appointed interior, making it ideal for both short coastal trips and longer passages. With features like twin rudders for improved handling, a modern hull for more sailing fun, a spacious cockpit for gatherings, and a customisable layout, the Elan Impression 43 appeals to both seasoned sailors and those new to yachting.
Reflecting on the nomination, Elan Yachts director, Marko Škrbin, expressed his gratitude:
"We are deeply honoured by this nomination. It acknowledges our team's dedication to innovation and our commitment to creating yachts that are not just vessels, but experiences on water. The Elan Impression 43 is a culmination of our vision to blend adventure with comfort, and being recognised at the British Yachting Awards is a significant milestone for the yacht."
The Elan Impression 43's nomination for the British Yachting Awards is just one of its many accolades.
