Project: Elandra 47 SY

Elandra Yachts unveiled plans for its next model, the 47 Sport Yacht, during the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show.  Development is now underway at the company's yard at Arundel on the Gold Coast and scheduled launch is mid-2016. The 47 will feature similar line to the acclaimed 53 launched last year, and as the bigger sister is also to feature tried and tested shaft drive. Elandra has so far sold four 53s since the launch in September last year, surpassing its plan of making production of three boats per year.  The three-cabin Elandra 47 will include two spacious queen staterooms: a full-beam master with private en-suite and a forward guest stateroom with shared shower head on the port side. A bunk cabin is positioned to starboard. The Elandra 53 has won acclaim for its open-plan design and inviting layout that brings the outdoors into the saloon. The design of the Elandra 47 is in the same vein with expansive bi-fold doors that open up to engage the cockpit with the galley and saloon settee as a single entertainment or leisure area. The cockpit has been designed with no loss of space or features than the Elandra 53, and the aft cockpit lounge can be set up as dinette or coffee table setting at the push of a button. The aft boot accessed from the swim platform lifts up to unearth a cavernous garage lazarette for inflatables, kayaks, rods and tackle boxes, dive gear or additional freezers.  Standard power comes from twin Caterpillar  650hp. Options include Volvo 670 and Scania 675hp. The drive line is direct shaft with a low 10-degree shaft angle.

New Model: Elandra 53

Elandra from down under Australia has made to real its first awaited project, the 53. Interesting as it gets outside thanks to the bronze color of hull one the Elandra 53 is a competitive fully enclosed sport cruiser. The known down under names have in most cases always gone in the direction to mix up American looks with European design elements, not so for the Elandra 53 who embraces Europe and Italian looks fully into its exterior and interior.  Never the less the Elandra 53 still has a lot of Aussie thinking when it comes to substance; shown in the four hundred plus range at 20 knots, and a water tank of one thousand liters. In its layout the Elandra follows the formula of living on the main deck with an astern L-shape galley, and dining lounging only split by two steps. All this with the fully opening patio door also gets united with the aft deck making for a large entertaining area in nice weather. Below is all dedicated to three double cabins; full beam owners stateroom midships, VIP to fore, third bunk twin cabin to starboard, and guest shower head to port side.  A tender garage with space for a jet rib is located aft. Power is twin MAN 800hp which gives top speed up to 34 knots.

Project: Elandra 5

The Elandra 5 is the new project and boat brand to come from down under Australia. While being a totally new brand the founders of Elandra have long been in the business of boat building, and come to the market with an interesting sport yacht, which makes semi-customization, sea keeping, and a strong build quality its trade marks. Designed by Tom Barry-Cotter the Elandra 5 will follow what most new sport cruisers are offering in recent years; a lower deck dedicated to the cabins, and a main for living.  The lower cabin deck of the Elandra 5 offers three cabins, with an owners midships full beam room, and a VIP cabin forward which surprises for its space with the double berth looking to the starboard of the ship offering added leg room. The main deck of the Elandra 5 is a split level living area, which joins outside with inside.  A tender garage with a space for a jet rib and an easy launch system is featured aft.
