… Elan has been engaged in the production of marine 

orientated craft. This production began with the 

making of boats, kayaks, and canoes that were made 

out of waterproof wooden slabs. 

In the following years, Elan temporarily redirected 

its manufacturing into the production of folding 

rubberized kayaks. 

In 1962 Elan began manufacturing boats from 

reinforced polyester, the material that at that time 

meant a revolutionary world innovation in the 

construction of yachts. 

at a number of regattas in the Adriatic Sea. In 1984, 

under the leadership of the Slovene sailor Dušan Puh 

Elan 31 won the production boat prize at the Half Ton 

World Championship at Marstrand in Sweden. With 

the Elan 31 the foundations for the present success in 

manufacturing bigger yachts at Begunje were laid. 

Two years later a smaller Elan 19 was made. In 1987 

the Elan 43, and then a modernized version of the 

the 31, intially named the 33 and then the 331 were 

produced. 1990 saw the emergence of the Elan 431. 

In 1993 the Elan 38 was manufactured, which saw the 

end of co-operation with the Jakopin brothers (J&J).

The first yachts from the end of the 60’s onwards were 

followed by the first small scale production of One 

Design Yachts: Flying Junior, Racing Europe, S-430, 

S-425 and S-375. Keeping up with the production 

development, the Elan passed onto the bigger 

6-metre yacht Flamingo in 1972. 

In 1978 these beginnings were crowned by the 

7.7-metre yacht, the Elan 707, which was designed 

by Elan’s constructor Miha Pretnar. At this time it was 

regarded as a rather luxurious, spacious, but not a 

very fast yacht. 

Two years later (in 1980) it was supplanted by the Elan 

Express that was designed by a Swedish designer 

Peter Norlin. 

The next step was made three years later. In 1983 

following the J&J design in cooperation with Niels 

Jeppsen the Elan 31 was made. At this time it was not 

only big and luxurious, but also proved itself invincible 

It started with a period in which sailing boat production 

was based on the design of an acclaimed English 

constructor Rob Humphreys. First in line was Elan 295 

introduced in 1994. The development continued with 

the Elan 36 in the next year and in 1998 with the Elan 

333, and finally with Elan 362 in 1999. At the turn of the 

millenium, the Elan 45 was presented to the world. 

Following year our renewed performance 40 

footer was launched. In 2002 we presented new 

Elan 31 - successful small performance cruiser, 

followed by Elan 37 in 2003. In 2004 Elan entered the 

cruising market with the new 43 footer - first yacht out 

of new cruising yacht range - Impression by Elan. The 

first in line was Impression 434. The new Impression 

range was enlarged in following year with smaller 

Impression 384. 10 meter in length - Impression 344 

won the prestigious European Yacht of the Year 2006 

award. The new cuisers impresses their owners with 

spacious interior and excellent seaworthiness.

EXCELLENCY IN DESIGN 

Rob Humphreys 

Rob Humphreys has an exceptional mix of experience 

for a yacht designer, and it is this varied background 

that gives the Elan range its ability to shine in both 

racing and cruising worlds. 

No other designer has designed for so many round-the 

-world race formats as Humphreys. He has been 

responsible for Whitbread race yachts, both at IOR 

Maxi and Whitbread 60 level; he co-designed Ellen 

MacArthur’s highly successful Open 60 Kingfisher; 

he designed the BT Global Challenge fleet. 

Yet, at one and the same time, he is one of the leading 

designers for the GBR America’s Cup challenge, 

involved in high profile race campaign such as 

Volvo 70 and the naval architect for Oyster Marine, 

one of the premier names in blue water cruising. 

The breadth of feedback his office has at its disposal 

in part explains why the current Elan performance 

and cruising sailing yachts are able to display such 

well-rounded characteristics. 

The advanced technology of the America’s Cup - for 

example Computational Fluid Dynamics and largescale 

tank testing - is only one step removed from 

the Elan think-tank.
