IMPRESSION 514

Prestigious, modern and luxurious, the new Impression 514 bluewater

cruiser sets a new benchmark for yachts in its class. Streamlined and

elegant, her captivating style promises blissful cruising and endless

enjoyment.

The semi deck saloon opens out into voluminous space, with overhead

and side panoramic windows providing welcoming natural light and

an excellent view. Spacious L- shaped chef’s galley, relaxing U-shaped

lounge area to starboard with two arm chairs to port and an abundance

of storage throughout. The selection of various interior layouts with upto 5 beautifully appointed cabins and large en-suite bathrooms offer the

owner the possibility to custom design.

On deck the vast cockpit area provides excellent comfort, the twin wheel

steering system offers both a perfect position for the helmsman and

excellent access to the transom. Ergonomically positioned winches are

designed for easy handling with minimum crew.

The push of a button opens the garage door which serves as a large

swimming platform when fully opened, creating easy access to the water

and additional entertainment area. Designated garage space stores a

Tender up to 2.60 metres in length. BBQ grill to port and sink with hot andcold water to starboard while a retractable hydraulic gangway eases the

access on and off the yacht.

The Impression 514 is a sailing yacht whose illustrious pedigree is a

promise for excellence and quality throughout.

The hallmark of the designer Rob Humphreys guarantees performance,

stability and hull speed. The latest design and technology combined with

years of skilled craftsmanship, quality of the joinery and fine attention

to detail are all encompassed in her distinctive style to satisfy the most

discerning owner.

Optimised keel, tall keel-stepped rig and clear deck with high quality deck

gear all combine to give the owner and crew a rewarding and relaxing

sail.

The design and build pedigree is the best testament for any serious

bluewater cruiser. Rob Humphreys’ masterful configuration of the keel,

rudder, rig and hull design produces a perfectly balanced yacht with

remarkably high stability and excellent response.

The hull is molded in a one step process using highly advanced technology

based on environmentally friendly 3D vacuum-assisted lamination.

This advanced technique considerably improves the strength and

mechanical properties of the hull laminate by as much as 50%. The hull’s

powerful inner structure ensures that all loads from the keel and rig are

distributed effectively with a minimum flexing of the hull.

All Elan sailing yachts meet the highest Germanischer Lloyd’s Type Test

Standard with emphasis on both safe and fast sailing.

Inner structure

The hull structural strength is a key factor in overall

boat safety, and in its resistance to ever-demanding

ocean conditions.Maintaining the highest profile of structural frames

among boat builders, and the highest number

of longitudinal and transversal stringers, the Elan

inner structure is one of the most comprehensive

reinforced structures on the market today.

Adding a unique combination of gluing and laminating

techniques to the inner mould to the hull joint is the

final proof Elan yachts are build to last.

Keel joint

The cast iron or lead keel is attached to the hull by

premium grade stainless bolts that are highly resistant

to corrosion.

The internal structure grid ensures the best possible

strength and flexibility in beating to windward, or in

severe groundings. Before fitting each Elan keel is

sealed for protection and smooth finish.

Chainplates

Chainplate loads are spred via High Quality marine

stainless steel rods to metal plates incorporated into

the inner structure.

Hull – deck joint

To preserve the design shape of the hull prior to the

joint, specially designed metal jigs are used. Use of

an in-turning wide flange offers a strong support for

the deck an a large surface for bonding material. Hulland deck are joined together by a 3-way technique:

Gluing of the hull an deck parts together, use of

stainless steel bolts for mechanical shear, fastening

and laminating of the joint at the bow and transom

area to allow for even greater stiffness and sturdiness.

100% reliability with no recorded failure in thousands

of miles of tough ocean conditions.

High Quality materials

Carefully selected materials are subject to our

strict quality control. Use of high technology

materials, from the latest research, enable us

to optimise the laminate plan of each yacht.

Quadriaxial and multiaxial glass fibre, Kevlar®reinforcements at the mast support and bow

area, Aramat® and Dyvinacell® all contribute

to the well known strength of an Elan yacht.

Use of Vinyl ester pre-laminate and Isophtalic

polyester laminate which insures perfect

antiosmosis protection and superb mechanical

properties to weight ratio.

Gelcoat spraying

Apart from the esthetic function, a layer of

gelcoat is used to prevent water penetration

into the laminate and preserve its stiffness over

long periods of time. In order to achieve the

highest level of consistency in quality and

thickness, the HQ gelcoat is being sprayed

by computer-operated nozzle in a carefully

monitored production process.

3D VAIL

3D VAIL is controlled and repeatable vacuum

assisted lamination process, where the hull andmain stiffeners are laminated in one step.

One shot lamination under vacuum force,

increases hull stiffeners and ensure perfect joint

between hull and stiffeners that reduces possibility

of delamination failure even at high impact loads.

3D VAIL lamination means advance for all involved

in lamination process and further phases of boat

production because of it’s »No resin cintact and min.

VOC & dust emissions« benefits. Elan shipyard is the

leader among the serial sailing yachts manufacturers

using vacuum hull lamination.

Germanischer Lloyd Yacht Plus

As sailing has become more and more competitive

and prestigious, increasing emphasis has been

placed on size, speed, manoeuvrability, overall

performance and comfort of a yacht. However,

beside expectation of a good value for their money,

the owners are also concerned with safety issues of

a yacht. This is where Germanischer Lloyd comes

in and set an owner’s mind at rest.

Adequate structural safety of a yacht can only be

confirmed impartially by a classification society as

Germanischer Lloyd who is one of the world’s most

thorough classification societies, having a long

tradition (reaching back 140 years) in the examination,

checking of design and construction of ships,

yachts and boats.

The structural designs of ELAN yachts are examined

and approved by Germanischer Lloyd. The

production facilities of ELAN Marine fulfil highest

demands of Germanischer Lloyd for production of

GRP yachts.

Furthermore, sailing yacht ELAN 340 fulfils all

essential safety requirements of the Recreational

Craft Directive 94/25 EC and its amendments 2003/44EC. A continuous compliance with respective design

and safety standards has been supervised and

certified by Germanischer Lloyd according to its

newest and unique guarantee of quality and safety -

“GL Yacht Plus”.
