In this episode we review main stream, similarly sized and priced production cruisers. We compare 8 to 10 year old production boats from Beneteau, Jeanneau, Bavaria, Hanse and Elan. Share our thought process of choosing Elan over competition. We focus on areas such as hull design, construction, keel, rudder, comfort, tankage and lay out other important specs from cruiser and live aboard perspective.
Now we spent more than a year and 1200nm with her, we share our honest opinion about this not so known production cruiser. We conclude with a detailed boat tour and point out things we do and don't like about our 2016 Elan Impression 45.

About Us:
We recently quit our high-tech jobs in California, bought a sailboat, and moved to the Mediterranean. We are just starting our adventure of sailing around the world and experiencing life on a sailboat. In this sailing vlog 2022, we will share our experiences as a sailing couple on YouTube who spends our first year sailing extensively throughout the Mediterranean coast. We will document our experiences, travel discoveries, and costs throughout our sailing journey. We hope you will find the sailing passage in this video helpful.
