CUSTOM PERFORMANCE SAILS FOR ELAN BOATS

Elan Yachts Sails by North Sails

Elan has carved out a reputation for fast, stylish yachts that blur the line between cruiser and racer. Built in Slovenia and often drawn by leading design houses, the range runs from the sporty E-line to the roomier Impression and GT models, giving owners a boat that is genuinely quick yet comfortable enough to spend real time aboard. Sails matter enormously on a boat like this, because the performance built into the hull only shows when the inventory above it is right.

North Sails designs and builds Elan sails to the exact specification of your model. Every Elan mainsail, Elan headsail, genoa, jib, and Elan spinnaker is shaped for your rig and the way you sail, with laminate and 3Di options for owners who like to push hard and easy-handling cloth for those who mostly cruise. The same suit can take you from a relaxed weekend to a club start line without missing a beat.

Cut to your boat rather than a class average, your Elan will sails deliver crisp handling, reliable shape, and the speed the design promises. Serviced by your local loft, they are made to keep an able boat performing at its best, season after season.

ELAN FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A:

Pricing is always specific to the boat, because an Elan inventory can be built anywhere from a value cruising setup to a full performance suit. A single Elan mainsail costs far less than a complete racing wardrobe with laminate headsails and downwind sails, so the figure really depends on how you sail. The quickest route to a firm number is to tell us whether you want to buy Elan sails one at a time or plan a full set of new Elan sails. Send your model and goals through an Elan sail quote and an expert will price it up.

A:

Yes. A code zero or furling gennaker is one of the best upgrades you can make to a cruiser-racer like an Elan, opening up close and broad reaching angles where a standard headsail runs out of power. We size and cut it to your rig and sail plan, and we will recommend the right furling setup so it is quick to deploy and easy to stow. It is a popular way to add speed and range without extra crew.

A:

It depends on how you balance cruising and racing. For mostly cruising, a cross-cut Dacron or our NPL laminates give durability and easy handling. If you race, or simply want the boat to sail to its potential, 3Di holds a faster shape for far longer. Many Elan owners land on a versatile laminate that does both. The sail material guide sets out the options, or talk it through with your local loft.

A:

Comfortably, yes. An Elan is happy doing both, and a well-designed laminate mainsail and furling genoa will cruise easily through the week and still hold their shape on the start line at the weekend. If you take racing more seriously we can add a lighter headsail or a code zero, but most owners find one versatile inventory covers everything they want to do.

A:

We build to the known specifications of your specific Elan, across the E-line, GT, and Impression models, so the sail is shaped for your rig from the first hoist. If anything needs confirming, your local loft can take or check measurements before the sail goes into production. Just share your model when you request a quote and we will match the design to your boat.
