New Model: Elan 30 Power

Following the style of its predecessors 35, 42 and 48, once again Tony Castro manage to design a hard top family sports cruiser of recognizable sports lines, the Elan 30 Power. With just under ten meters in length and a generous beam, Elan Power 30 offers a large cockpit with galley, equipped with a variety of options: gas or electric cooker, and or grill plus an eighty liters fridge. A comfortable settee of a modern design accommodates up to six adults. With a fold-able table and an extra cushion the settee is convertible into a huge sunbed. One of the most prominent features of the deck design is a navigatorium, positioned on the starboard side of the helmsman, offering abundant space for charts. The hull of the Elan Power 30 is balanced to provide both excellent seaworthiness and enough volume to host interior spaces. Among a variety of engine options, Volvo twin 220hp configuration tested on the prototype gave the max speed of 37 knots. Thanks to the technology of laminating joints, predominantly between elements positioned within the hull, as well as the joint of hull and deck, this boat is compact enough to endure extreme weather conditions. Below deck, Elan Power 30 features standing headroom throughout. Interior of Elan Power 30 is not only equipped with modern furniture finished in oak wood, but is also very practical. The galley is divided into two working surfaces. The effect of comfort and spaciousness is intensified by two saloon ceiling openings, allowing a lot of natural daylight to enter the saloon. Two very spacious cabins, both with double berths, can accommodate four persons. Wardrobes and hanging cabinets of the front cabin are suitable for storage of personal belongings. Another luxury feature is certainly the head approachable from both master cabin and the saloon.

Improve-it = Elan Power 48

Elan presents a new version to it's current flagship the 48 Power.  This new main deck choice adds a patio door and reconfiguration of this area.  This optional layout choice was a request coming from a Northern Europe dealer.  In this new layout the 48 Power adds a patio door, with the dinette and galley moving on the main deck, and below area all reserved to the cabins and saloon.  The patio door choice also changes the main deck layout plan dramatically with a C-shaped settee located to aft, instead of the usual sun pad area.  Down below the choice remains as previously for a two or three cabins choice.  With the optional three cabins version you loose the lower saloon.  Power is as was previously with shaft propulsion twin Volvo 575hp, IPS600 with 435hp, or Cummins 600hp with ZF Zeus pods.
