The Elan Impression 45 offers a bright and airy interior thanks to its hull and deck saloon windows. The Saloon features a large U-shaped settee to port and an additional settee to starboard allowing her to seat more people around the dining table than any other ordinary yacht in her class.
Built to exacting standards using Vacuum Assisted Infusion Lamination (VAIL) the hull is strong and stiff.

Construction
Designed by Humphreys Yacht Design, the Elan Impression 45 is built to exacting standards.
The hull is built using Vacuum assisted Infusion lamination (VAIL) technology to considerably improve, strength and mechanical and chemical properties of the hull. High quality materials, SVG gelcoat for optimal chemical resistance against osmosis and mirror finish, sandwich construction using multi-directional fibreglass, structural closed cells foam core on hull sides and single skin on hull bottom and loaded areas, vinylester skin coat and Isophtalic polyester resin are used for a high quality product. Powerful inner structure distributes all loads from the keel and rig effectively with a minimum flexing of the hull.
Finished in white GRP with teak cockpit floor and teak covered cockpit seats
