Why sailors choose the Elan 40 SD FK
Taken here as the Rob Humphreys Elan 40 racer-cruiser (the results also list these boats simply as Elan 40). It was designed to be raced and cruised, with an optional racing rig and grand-prix mainsheet system, and reviewers liked its easy, responsive helm. The navigation station is cramped for instruments.
- Humphreys racer-cruiser for club racing and family cruising
- Racing options include rod rigging
- Easy, responsive helm with good visibility
- Two aft cabins for cruising
- Nav station short of space
