Noul Elan GT6 X: Explorer | Lansare și tur oficial al iahtului

1. This is SO close to my absolute dream sailboat: a boat you can live on and sail the world (no high latitudes, I hate cold weather) with a nice compromise between speed and comfort, and no compromise on safety.
   The watertight bulkheads are a great feature, as well as the redundant rudder system.
   Also, the arch with that array of solar panels is AMAZING.
   I really like the cutter/slutter rig, amazing option to trim sails and keep the boat balanced in heavy weather.
   There are also some things I would have thought differently:
   1- the kitchen placement and layout is terrible: it's far away from the cockpit so passing food while underway is difficult, and the distance between the stove and the sink makes cooking impractical/unsafe; also, with that array of solar panels plus generator I would've avoided having gas onboard.
   2- the T bulb keel is a silly option for a cruiser (even if it's fast), it calls for trouble without providing any significant advantage; fortunately, the shallow draft option seems to be an L keel.
   3- the liferaft placement is really poor; it should be behind the folding bathing platform, ready to launch, not in a deep locker.
   4- I might be wrong, but the interior doesn't seem to strike a good balance between form and function, I don't see enough storage space to live aboard for extended periods of time.
   But all in all it is an excellent boat… If only I had the money 🥲

2. Not my cup of tea. Try designing a boat from the outside in for a change.

3. In the fottage of the boat sailing a human being couldn't even be down below without getting their ribs broken. Builders build boats to sell.

4. Seems like a lovely coastal cruiser, but I would be wary about bluewater travel. Its nice that the rudders have a bulkhead in caee of a container strike but how will the keel handle such an event?

5. Just watched a similar high-end Italian "ocean" class design have it's keel delaminate when she was lowered onto her keel in a marine yard.

6. 20 yrs it will be in my price range. Beautiful tho. Looks like 1.2 or 1.3 million.

7. I don’t like how it’s handling the small sea state. That is one wet boat 😳

8. What explore, this yacht! The cash of buiers?😅

9. I think that the renowned yacht designers at Humphreys can easily construct a solid L-keel instead of the T-keel. It certainly doesn't have to have a draft of 2.45m… Otherwise a dream yacht!

10. An important clarification that was not explained sufficiently in the video: The Elan GT6 Explorer is of course also available with a 2m L-shaped shoal keel.

11. Great party boat I can imagine its cost as being top end

12. Can you please show pictures of boat, not cheesy picutres of actors talking to each other. We’re sailors, not hollywood fans.

13. Should have a raised pilot house

14. Very cool but one kiss of the bottom on something and bye bye boat. 😢

15. Explorer is such an oxymoron; nobody really explores, but those whom do, get thrown in prison.

16. Il centro velico dovrebbe essere arretrato.

17. Nothing new.
    1) the outlay is quite common on most sailboats of this size with only a more refine drawing with more expensive materials… Not gain.
    2) still have to see why the hull is outstanding as compared to all boats of this size, knowing that all hull designs are a compromise (something that the mega yacht with a 65 m mast with a weight of 25ton didn't seem to have complied to…) : new hull designs never come from the industry of pleasure yachts but from the racing boats which are bolder… Hence marginal gains only.
    3) design : I leave it to viewers to conclude along their own taste. I am not flabestgasted. The again my best experiences and my love of sailing go back as far as 63 tears ago? It was a time when luxury on sea had a different meaning than on land : comfort designed for sailing at sea, interior plans devised in such a way they adapted to marine life… Life at sea at that time was traditional coastal curing tools; running fix etc, plus sextant and chronometer… Electronics were a heavy depth sounder a VHF that took the place of a sizeable cabinet, and RDF when it worked.
    You learned a lot about the marine environment and how it could tell you a lot. Something the GPS has killed among the younger generation.
    And you didn't need Porsche Porsche to come to the rescue. Mr Parkman and Stephens among many others did a remarkable job and they were sailors too…

18. That inner staysail is super high aspect. Ok when sheeted on but hello twist if you ease a little!

19. One small remark.
    Couldn't Elan find a "pleasing to the eye" woman (or even a man) to do all this as this character?

20. Loved it! Unfortunately I cant buy it!
