Impression by name - impressive by design, this as-new Elan 50.1 epitomizes what is achievable when an experienced blue-water sailor specs a new yacht build with short-handed sailing front of mind. Settling on the design performance of Rob Humphries Yacht Design (Oyster) and the quality of Elan Yachts, almost every aspect of this yacht's specification has been upgraded to ensure reliability, comfort and safety. The result is a very impressive world-cruiser set up for off-grid cruising and all presented in turn-key condition. Key design attributes include deep twin rudders, a generous 2.23m draft, wide decks, fold-down teak boarding platform and twin cockpit tables all under cover of a custom dodger and bimini. The 50.1 Interior layout proves that form and function is achievable in modern yacht design. Finished in light oak, internal spaces are bright and airy with ample deck hatches and port lights. The saloon is large and inviting with opposing settees set around a family sized double-leaf saloon table. The central galley is beautifully equipped and immensely practical for ocean sailing. Accommodation consists of a large island master forward with ensuite and two double aft cabins and two additional toilets and showers. The upgraded Yanmar 80HP engine is mounted over the keel for easy servicing and excellent weight distribution. Some key upgrades include lithium batteries and battery management solutions, bow thruster, Fisher Panda generator, Harken electric halyard and genoa winches, Schenker watermaker, Norths 3Di performance main and new delivery spare, Selden in-mast furling... the list goes on. The vendor is also willing to negotiate a very favorable price on a prime 16m berth at Opua Marina in the winterless north. If you are considering a new quality cruising yacht you would be hard pressed to find better than that on offer here. Inquire now for full specifications or an appointment to view. Lying central AKL
