About the ELAN 350
The Elan 350 is a fractional sloop designed by Rob Humphreys and built by Elan (SLOV) between 2011 and 2013. While the exact build count is unspecified, owner reports highlight a mix of performance-oriented upgrades and significant structural maintenance concerns.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and short-handed sailors who prioritize interior volume and modern electronics over heavy offshore durability, given the prevalence of Raymarine upgrades and dodger installations.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 2.02 and a comfort ratio of 21.0, the Elan 350 is better suited for coastal cruising than serious bluewater passagemaking, a limitation reinforced by reported keel smile and rudder shaft issues.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to the Beneteau First 36.7 and Nauticat 36 due to similar fractional rig configurations and interior layouts, though the Elan 350 distinguishes itself with a lighter displacement of 11795.0 lb and a higher SA/D ratio of 19.68.
