Since the shipyard was founded in 1945, Elan sailing boats have been synonymous with elegance, performance and outstanding build quality. The fact that the Slovenian boat manufacturer is now also entering the long-distance yacht market should please its fans. The new blue water yacht is based on the GT6, which was created on the drawing board by Humphreys Yachts Design and whose interior and exterior design was co-designed by Studio F. A. Porsche. In keeping with her name X for Explorer, she offers more autonomy for longer trips, more upmarket equipment and greater safety. As usual, the hull is very robust thanks to the in-house 3D VAIL hull technology and the bulkheads in the bow and stern have been made watertight by lamination. The mainsheet can be attached to the bracket in the cockpit. In addition, a self-tacking jib has been installed and the GT6 X’s range of action has been extended with correspondingly upgraded equipment. The yacht has a 500 liter fuel tank, a water maker for 100 liters per hour, solar panels with an output of 1000 watts, a generator with up to 6000 watts and service batteries with 840 Ah as standard. The GT6 X is available both as a three-cabin and a two-cabin version with a technical compartment. This offers plenty of space for equipment and provisions, allowing you to travel the world quickly and comfortably. elan-yachts.com
