CHINED HULL: The chines on Elan 350OD's hull boost the boat's tracking ability at speed and clean off the wake, giving the boat improved high speed capability and control. TWIN RUDDERS: Elan 350OD's broad stern allows for an increased form stability and power integrating well with the twin-rudder arrangement and delivering excellent control even at high heel angles. CROSS-OVER STEERING SYSTEM: The unique combination of twin rudders and two steering wheels offers an excellent steering precision and easy handling in all weather conditions. CARBON BOWSPRIT: The retractable carbon bowsprit brings an efficient asymmetric setting, bringing the rig's centre of effort forward to enhance control at high speed. GENNAKER: The Elan 350OD is a very fast boat with it's regular sloop rigging, put the gennaker on, and it won't be hard to plane her at a speed of around 15 knots. JIB SHEET OUTHAUL: To finetune your jib. GERMAN SHEETING: For better and easier main trimming. DYNEEMA RIGGING: Dyneema, 'the world's strongest fiber' is used for all standing and running rigging. BACKSTAY WITH FLICKER: For quick and easy backstay handling. T-KEEL: A thin iron keel of 2.15 m draught, attached to the hull with oversized structure to stand very big forces. FOLDABLE FOOTHOLD AT HELM: The Elan 350OD sails like a dream upwind. You'll love the foldable foothold on both starboard side and portside which help you sit stable and concentrate on the joy of steering the boat. JIB SHEET TRACK: For enhanced trimming ability. CURVED TRACK TRAVELER FOR THE MAIN SHEET: For better performance via fine tuning the main. FLAT BOOM: For a little more sail area. EASY CONTROL: all sheets and halyards in cockpit, two wheels, German sheeting. Very easy to handle shorthanded or for a small crew. LIGHT WEIGHT: as compared to other boats of its class. LARGE SAIL AREA: the combined sail area of 65.6 square metre of the main and the jib give the Elan 350OD an outstanding sail area/wetted surface ratio, to make her faster than other boats in her class. LONG WATERLINE: thanks to the wide aft, the chined hull and the vertical stem, the Elan 350OD has a maximum length and ideally shaped water line even when strongly heeled. WIDE AFT: to give more power, speed and stability, better rudder control and ideal water line through the chined hull. |
