Elan Impression 45.1
SAFETY
A conservative sail plan and a hull shape that does not punish casual sailors in extreme weather. A low centre of gravity and great stability due to CFD modelling by Humphreys Yacht Design. Option of a closed and covered cockpit that protects the crew from the elements. An easy and convenient emergency ladder trigger mechanism. A stiff hull that saves lives.
DECK SALOON
The raised coachroof forms a deck-saloon yacht which offers a far brighter and more spacious interior than an ordinary yacht, thus creating a true home away from home while on board.
COMFORT
This Elan yacht has been designed with every comfort in mind. Leisure when cruising is guaranteed. Relaxation and enjoyment are a priority – everything from the large volume, sunbathing areas in the cockpit, an outdoor grill and fridge, to microwave and coffee machine options.
EASY TO SAIL
This yacht is easily handled by a shorthanded or even single-handed crew, due to the winch placement and furling sails. Paired with a more conservative sail plan, this ensures an easily managed rig.
BLUE WATER CRUISING
Be one of many people to travel long distances on an Elan yacht. Cross oceans, or even circum-navigate the globe; forget about the everyday issues of the mundane life and set sail on your biggest adventure ever. Reliability, ease of sail, stiffness of the hull, comfort and capacity for a myriad of blue water equipment (like a water-maker and a generator) enable the yacht to became your perfect blue water cruiser.
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.
A GREAT INVESTMENT
Elan Yachts are one of the most popular yachts to serve as investments in the charter market. Low maintenance cost, exceptional durability, reliable aftersales support and easy upkeep – all of these elements ensure the Elan yachts have great value retention and profitability.
L-SHAPED KEEL
The classic L-shaped keel has many benefits ensuring easier navigation. It's a user-friendly keel with advantages when clearing kelp, easier manoeuvring in marinas and a smaller draught.

Exterior
Inspired by the solutions presented on the Elan GT5, the Elan Impression 45.1 now has a longer and wider 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 swim platform. One of the additional changes immediately apparent is the addition of a new window, illuminating the back cabins and building upon her immediately recognizable shape.

Interior

Comfort
The Impression 45.1 is bright and airy, thanks to its hull shape and recognisable deck saloon windows. The saloon features a large settee fully surrounding the table without obstrucitng the pathway. The Galley has been shifted forward, for more spacious living and larger navigation area. After months of testing, iroko veneer framed with solid iroko wood was chosen as the main interior furniture material, because it was determined to have the best endurance capabilities, a beautiful classic look, and an attractive price point. The Elan Impression 45.1 will be available in two cabin layouts, one more aligned with the needs of friends and family, and one for demanding charter groups.

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.

Illuminate your yacht with beautiful ambient lighting including dimming options.
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.
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!
Large Bathing Platform
Choose the large bathing platform and extend the outside living area substantially. Increase the safety for children and pets by closing up the transom. Sunbathe, fish, shower and enjoy life at sea, just above the water surface!
In-Mast Furling Main Sail
Upgrade your mainsail with in-mast furling. Enjoy the ease of sailing, easy reefing and managing the main with a smaller crew or single-handed. Open the sail with ease.
Bow Thruster
The addition of a bow thruster makes the life of any skipper easier and the wallet of the investor less burdened in the long run. Enjoy the benefits of easy manoeuvrability in any marina and avoid collisions.
Double Berth in the Saloon
As an option, the saloon area can be easily converted into a double berth, enabling more accommodation for larger crews. Perfect for charter yachts and owners with large families or plenty of friends.
Split-Twin Cockpit Table
The split cockpit table enables easy movement in the cockpit, around the table and from the cockpit to the interior. The table can be configured in numerous ways; the open side wings and closed mid-section provide small tables on each side for people to enjoy drinks and snacks, while still enabling easy movement into the yacht’s interior. The full open table offers enough space for lavish meals. The sunbed configuration offers a place to set down drinks, as well as widens the side-bench and converts it into a full-on sunbed.
