The Elan Impression 45.1 is a modern cruising yacht designed by Humphreys Yacht Design and built by Elan Yachts (SLO) in 2019. With a displacement of 22972.0 lb and a fractional sloop rig, it represents a single-year production run with an unknown total build count.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize interior volume and modern amenities over heavy offshore provisioning. Its fractional sloop rig and 21.24 SA/D ratio make it manageable for short-handed sailing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.93 and a comfort ratio of 27.4, the boat is stable but relatively light for its size, suggesting it is best suited for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than extreme bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 and Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44.2, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and target the same performance-cruising market. These models offer similar interior layouts and beam dimensions for the 2019 model year.
