Elan E5
-
PERFORMANCE
With lightness, sports equipment and a myriad of trimming options, these yachts are designed not only to be enjoyed by a cruising family but also to be sailed fast by an ambitious crew. Join a regatta or two and be among the first around the buoy.
-
PLANNING POTENTIAL
This yacht can be configured in a low displacement configuration, which allows the yacht to achieve its full planning potential, designed into the hull and sail plan by Humphreys Yacht Design. Fly the kite, rise from the water and plane!
-
COMPOSITE BULKHEADS
The composite version ensures an unbroken surface along the bulkhead and an equal distribution of mechanical loads through the cross-section. The vacuum-cured resin-impregnated biaxial fabric takes the stiffness and durability to the next level and ensures the most compact structure.
-
TWIN HELM
Elan yachts were among the first production yachts to incorporate a twin-helm system, borrowing the concept from the offshore racing world. Now a staple in yacht design, the Jefa twin-wheel steering enables easy manoeuvring from both sides of the yacht while not impeding movement in the cockpit. Twin helms also introduce a new level of redundancy on your bluewater cruises, especially when paired with twin rudders.
-
TWIN RUDDERS
Twin rudders provide exceptional control and reduce the tendency to broach. The yacht does not stall easily, as her pitching moment is reduced. The twin rudder system provides finger-tip directional control, especially when heeled.
-
VAIL HULL
As the only sure way to prevent osmosis, and to ensure uniform stiffness, lightness and safety, Elan was one of the first serial yacht manufacturers to adopt the Vacuum-Assisted Infusion Lamination back in 2003. VAIL enables the complete saturation of resin and removes human error from the process.
-
3D VAIL
In essence, 3D VAIL technology integrates the inner yacht structure, stringers and stringer supports into the hull itself using vacuum-assisted infusion. When fully applied, this complicated and expensive process creates a one-piece laminated structure out of all the load-bearing elements of the yacht, increasing the stiffness and lightness and ensuring the best mechanical properties.
-
QUALITY
Created by a team of world-class GRP technicians, craftsmen and engineers, Elan Yachts are a level above the quality of other production yachts. Hop aboard and see the difference – unparalleled design, a solid wood finish, and attention to detail in every aspect. Durable and reliable – the true benefits of a more than 70-year-old tradition in yacht-making.

T-SHAPED KEEL
The T-shaped keel lowers the centre of gravity and enables enhanced sail-carrying power, increasing speed and stability of the yacht.

-
Cockpit Boxes
An incredibly popular and innovative feature, the cockpit boxes provide additional storage and seating space. They can be upgraded to hold a cockpit grill and a refrigerator for ultimate enjoyment aboard!
-
Small Bathing Platform
Light and out-of-the-way, the small bathing platform comes covered in teak and enables easy bathing. Enjoy the sporty open-transom feel of the yacht and keep the weight low while providing most of the utilities of a bathing platform.

-
Teak in the cockpit and on the platform
All yachts come equipped with artificial teak in the cockpit and on the bathing platform (if ordered). Can be upgraded to a full teak deck and real teak.
-
Twin wheels
Due to the wider and flatter hull design, twin rudders are more efficient than a single rudder, providing exceptional control and reducing the tendency to broach. The yacht does not stall easily, her pitching moment is reduced, and the directional control is superb!
-
