About the ELAN 410
Draft: deep keel 2.45 m/8.04' Ballast: deep keel 2469 kg/5443 lbs. Carbon Rig opt.
Designed by Rob Humphreys and built by Elan Marine (SLO) from 2009–2012, the Elan 410 is a performance-oriented cruiser with a fractional sloop rig. While the exact hull count is unspecified, the model is characterized by a displacement of 18298.0 lb and a beam of 12.83 ft, offering a balance of speed and comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and active racers who prioritize performance and modern electronics, as evidenced by the high prevalence of Nexus and Raymarine upgrades. It is less ideal for those seeking a low-maintenance, traditional bluewater trawler due to reported structural and mechanical vulnerabilities.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.95 and a displacement of 18298.0 lb, the Elan 410 has moderate offshore potential, but reported keel smile and rudder issues require rigorous structural verification before serious bluewater passage-making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 40.7 and the J/120, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and performance-focused hull forms from the same era. These models also target owners who value sailing dynamics over heavy displacement comfort.
