After many years in design and development, Elan is proud to announce the launch of a “New

Concept in Yacht Design”. The GT Series will take the very best design and construction

techniques from Elan’s award winning performance yachts, harmonising this with the benefits

of larger deck saloon yachts, to produce a truly elegant sporty cruising yacht.

Elan Yachts, some of the most competitive sailing yachts available today, benefiting from

“Humphreys Yacht Design” VOLVO OCEAN RACE 70 yachts designs. Elan inherits many

features from these ultimate racing machines such as twin rudders, T-shaped performance

keel, chined hull for minimum drag and the latest 3D VAIL infusion technology. With state of

the art deck equipment positioned for the optimum performance, ease of handling and a fine

tuned sail plan, every ELAN YACHT offers a superb sailing.

This comfortable cruising range of yachts will have the pace to “swallow up” the miles at sea,

whilst offering a safe and easy to handle yacht for the shorthanded crew.

The GT series will offer a premium lifestyle on a higher volume yacht, based on the Elan award winning performance

hulls, with a deck saloon and enhanced cockpit to give a truly luxurious performance cruiser.

TRUE PERFORMANCE CRUISINGWith hulls from Elan performance range and the addition of deck saloon style living.

DEDICATED CRUISING INTERIORRadical new interior layout resulting in a far more comfortable luxurious cruising yacht.

EASE OF HANDLINGThe GT5 is designed with a short-handed crew in mind, making it easy for a crew of two to handle the yacht easily.

The halyards and sheeting are controlled from the helmsman’s position, which keeps the cockpit clean of all lines,

ensuring the utmost in comfort and safety on-board.

Over a twenty year period of continual development with Elan Marine we have always striven for easy performance as a core value. ‘Easy’ as in easy to achieve and easy on stress; ‘performance’ not just as in pure speed but also as applied in qualitative measure of handling characteristics and sea kindliness; ‘easy performance’ as when the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

At one end of this the Elan range has consistently demonstrated a race winning potential while looking after the cruising alter ego of the owner; at the other end the Impression range has added to this sailing DNA a level of comfort and internal volume that bears excellent comparison with other pure cruising ranges.

With the new GT range the recipe comes from essentially the same ingredients but the mix is skewed a little more towards indulgent cruising, with a hull and appendage platform derived from the Elan performance range but an entirely new deck and interior layout that is hard to describe without using the word prestige.

The Elan Design Team have worked long and hard on this particular direction in the product range, and judging from both its potential and reception the new GT5 heralds what is likely to be a strong new range under the Elan umbrella. The yacht is laid out for easy short-handed operation, and much emphasis has been placed on the interface between exterior and interior, with the saloon immediately adjacent to the cockpit. This arrangement gives the saloon the maximum spatial benefit by making best use of the beam, with the galley forward of the saloon to work the space very well. It’s an arrangement that was developed for the highly successful Impression 50 and for many will be a more logical configuration than the more conventional arrangement of cockpit-galley-saloon.

For the sailing purists the Elan GT5 model should represent a gratifying performance for her class, with excellent control even when pressed, delivered by the well proven twin-rudder system. The GT5 should be a forgiving, rewarding yacht that will appeal particularly to the private owner who appreciates some distinction from the main body of the fleet.

Elan embodies a true passion for sailing, technological innovations and distinctive design. Every yacht coming from Elan’s 16.000 sq meter boatyard in Slovenia is the result of our 65-year long passion for innovation-oriented quality boatbuilding.

Elan Yachts have tempered glass built into the coachroof windows to ensure long lasting clear visibility.

Your yacht is built by our highly skilled craftsmen with great care and attention to every detail.

We want to make sure that your yacht is in perfect condition when she is delivered to you so every Elan yacht goes through a testing process in our test tank before departure from the yard.

Certified by Germanischer Lloyd, our yachts are designed to withstand the toughest conditions, while bringing every owner pure sailing pleasure and excitement. Elan is committed to a comprehensive environmental management system, minimizing

our impact on nature, proven by the ISO 14001 standard for an environmentally friendly production.

Due to the wider and flatter hull design twin rudders are more efficient then a single

rudder, providing exceptional control and reducing the tendency to broach. The

yacht does not stall easily, her pitching moment is reduced and her directional

control is superb!

TWIN RUDDER SYSTEM

+ MORE EFFECTIVE RUDDER CONTROL ESPECIALLY WHEN HEELED+ LIGHTER LOADS ON HELM AND EASIER WORK FOR AUTOPILOT+ MORE STABLE AND DIRECT FEEL, ESPECIALLY DOWNWIND+ REDUCES TENDENCY TO BROACH+ TWO INDEPENDENT RUDDER SYSTEMS

The keel has a very low centre of gravity for enhanced sail-carrying power arranged

in a T-shaped geometry beneath a low wetted surface area fin. More righting moment

for reduced displacement and drag.

Provides greater internal volume and optimises stability. A sophisticated Humphreys

Yacht Design hull shape with more radius in underwater hull sections aft are better bal-

anced with fuller forward sections to increase beam without increasing drag.

INCREASED BEAM

+ INCREASED ‘FORM STABILITY’ PROVIDES STIFFER FEEL UNDER SAIL+ INCREASED POWER AND PERFORMANCE+ INCREASED INTERNAL VOLUME AND MORE SPACE ON DECK

Chined hull helps with the yacht’s tracking ability upwind and clean off the wake, giving

the yacht improved top speed and control downwind. When heeled ideally the yacht

reaches an optimum underwater hull shape with a small wetted surface for minimum

drag. Chines also prevent broaching because they work as long skegs. Matching the

maximum beam with the optimum underwater hull shape leads to the design of a

chined hull.

The launch of the new GT Series begisn with the GT5 which is based on the award winning Elan E5 hull. This yacht

brings the true meaning of Gran Turismo to the yachting world, a Performance Grand Touring Yacht. She has all her

control lines led aft for the helmsmen to handle without even moving forward, leaving a clear and uncluttered compan-

ion way, ensuring easy handling for shorthanded sailing. The cockpit is a space for entertaining and relaxing with its

dual table system, option of convertible sun bed and ample storage. The deck is clear and easy to move around on,

continuing the commitment to a safe and easy to handle cruising yacht. The sleek lines that you have come to expect

from Elan, give this yacht the final overall appearance that will “turn heads” in every port you visit.

Fixed composite bowspritThe GT5 features a fixed bowsprit with anchor roller nicely hidden beneath it. The optional bowsprit is composite to ensure maximum stiffness in all conditions and elegant design.

180-degree panoramic windshield, window in windowWith the raised coachroof the 180 degree panoramic windshield made of tempered glass offers stunning view from the saloon area and plenty of natural light. The window in window

option offers optimal ventilation when at anchor, without compromising the design of the yacht.

Yachting lifestyle on deckWith the standard or large swim platform, options of a cockpit gal-

ley featuring a fridge, grill and other amenities common on much

larger yachts. The GT5 cockpit is designed for enjoying time with

family and friends, offering ample seating area and different inno-

vative cockpit table options converting the seating into a sunbath-

ing lunge.

A clean deck design ensures fast and safe passage forward, and

enables plenty of sunbathing area with dedicated cushions on the

foredeck.

The space below deck is unique in her class. The Elan Design Team has implemented an inverted saloon layout featuring the galley forward, ensuring optimal utilisation of the yacht’s

volume for the most comfortable and innovative saloon in her size range. The galley forward offers ample storage space with a customisable corner to be equipped individually for

each owner. The 180-degree panoramic skylight with the window in window feature, two hatches and one large central hatch, the saloon can be ventilated at all times.
