Elan E6, the cruising boat (15.30 meters) for those who want to have fun

Aboard the Elan E6 Pininfarina’s Italian design blends perfectly with that of the Humphreys Yacht Design studio founded by Rob Humphreys. The hull and lines of this yacht avowedly wink at performance, but the style and touch with which the interior has been designed allows the cruiser side to be best appreciated as well. A fast and fun boat but easy to maneuver and comfortable in cruising.

Minimal look and sporty lines

The Elan E6 is an almost flush deck boat, in fact the deck is distinguished by its minimalism and look, yet retaining all the rigging, with a layout designed by Olympic sailors to be simple and intuitive. On the deckhouse, continuous fenestration allows light into the interior despite the limited height, as does the “hollow” line on the side where the fenestration has been placed. The boat has a maximum beam of almost 4 1/2 meters but sails very well even upwind, thanks to the fairly light displacement and raised edge.

The boat also performs very well in racing, especially in its 2.80-meter draft version (the standard one draws 2.40 meters). As the people at Elan like to say, this yacht is a 60 percent cruising and 60 percent racing boat, because truly each of the two souls is taken care of by the shipyard. The construction is by Gurit, a leading composite company that has done a really good job keeping the sporty lines but allowing for maximum usable space below deck, as can be seen in the video below.

Elan E6 – Italian design dominates below deck

In the interior to dominate the scene is the hexagonal element, chosen by Pininfarina to recall the boat’s name, Elan E6
. We find it in the ladder to descend below deck, in the elements that make up the table, and in the upholstery of the cushions. Everything is taken care of down to the last detail, with fine finishes and thoughtful choices, and the right space is found to experience cruising at its best and in extremely comfortable conditions. Two layouts are available and allow for 3 or 4 cabins, again with two different separate bathrooms.
