Elan Impression 384 for sale in Falmouth United Kingdom

Boat Overview

A fantastic family cruiser less than 12m long with 3 double cabins and masses of storage. The Elan Impression 384 is notoriously fast and comfortable with high freeboard for a 'dry ride'. Designed by ROB HUMPHREYS and built in Slovenia between 2006 - 2010, the 384 was ahead of its time. Sugar scoop transom for easy dinghy access and stern entry. This yacht has good headroom below with a feeling of a much larger yacht than her actual 38'. Excellent family yachting package with bow thruster for easy mooring. Standing rigging from 2022, batteries from 2024 and saildrive seal from 2023. We have many more pictures in high resolution - please call us for a copy.

Construction

The hand-laid, vacuum-bagged hull is built using NPG gelcoat, isophthalic resin, and multiaxial fiberglass cloth. The hull is cored with PVC above the waterline and solid glass below and is reinforced with a structural grid and additional stringers along the hull sides. The deck is cored with PVC, and the hull/deck joint is bolted and bonded to create a monocoque structure. The mast is stepped on deck atop a stainless-steel compression post in the saloon. The keel is cast iron. Off white gelcoat topsides. Boot top is moulded in. S/S protection on bow.
