Broker's Comments
The Elan Impression 344 is built by Elan yachts to designs by Rob Humphreys, so you know you are going to get a decent yacht, indeed the 344 won European Yacht of the year in 2006.
This boat looks to be in beautiful condition and has been sailed fairly lightly. I was amazed how big she feels below decks – the generous headroom and well thought out design makes her feel like a 36 or 38 footer, and the heads are spacious and well lit enough to grace an even bigger yacht.
The 344 is a true cruising yacht designed and built for offshore cruising with exceptional seaworthiness in its class and an absolute gem to sail in a relaxed easy-to-sail manner. All sail controls are brought back to the cockpit, enabling the boat to be easily handled by one person.
The boat has just recently gone back into the water for the season and has been anti fouled, new anodes fitted, new sail drive diaphragm fitted and she has had her hull polished!
These boat details are subject to contract.
