What this video covers

The Elan Marine 410 is the first model in a new fast-cruiser series from the Slovenian yard, designed by Roba Amfris.Watch The hull uses the yard's patented vacuum-lamination system to maximize the stiffness-to-weight ratio.0:26 Fine bow sections, a rearward maximum beam, and pronounced stern flare define the hull shape, prioritizing sailing performance over interior volume.0:50 The long coachroof integrates cleanly with the freeboard, and the foredeck is kept clear for racing and casual summer use.1:01 The cockpit splits around a large steering wheel, with the mainsheet traveler forward of the helm column; stowage runs to anchor lockers, bench compartments, cockpit coaming lockers, and under the helm deck.1:28 Halyards and topping lifts route through dedicated channels under the coachroof to the cockpit.2:06 Six standard winches — four in the cockpit, two on the coachroof — handle sail control.2:26 The standard aluminum Selden mast carries over 100 square meters of sail area; a carbon mast is available as an option.2:47 Sea-trial conditions were light, but the boat accelerated sharply in every puff and tacked cleanly, confirming its potential as a competitive club racer.2:48
