Seller's Description

The Elan 384 Impression is a well-regarded cruising yacht known for its combination of performance, comfort, and build quality. Perfectly suited for both coastal cruising and longer voyages, it offers a spacious three cabin layout, a functional galley, and ample storage. The ergonomic cockpit and modern rig make her easy to handle, even for shorthanded sailing. Her solid construction and practical features make her a great choice for sailors looking for a versatile, high-quality cruising yacht that doesn’t compromise on comfort or performance.

Equipment: RECENT UPGRADES 2/24 - Engine oil & filters changed 4/24 - Jib furler block & line replaced 5/24 - Upgraded Garmin Nav system, added AIS 5/24 - New house, engine batteries, and alternator 7/24 - New 135% UK Genoa 7/24 - New water pump 7/24 - New mainsheet system and blocks, Dyneema jib sheets, and halyard 8/24 - New refrigeration compressor and control 11/24 - New lifelines and gates added

ACCOMMODTIONS The spacious interior has excellent headroom and a dinette that comfortably seats six. Numerous ports and hatches provide great light and ventilation, with hand holds for safety and easy movement while underway. The forward cabin features a large double berth offset to port, TV, hanging locker, and ample storage. The two aft cabins each offer standing headroom, reading lights, hanging lockers, a large berth, and LED lighting.

The port side L-shaped galley is well-equipped with a double stainless steel sink, new top-opening refrigerator, microwave, and a two-burner stove w/oven on gimbals. The roomy dinette converts to a berth. Opposite the galley is the nav station where you’ll find the electrical panel with breakers and gauges, VHF, chart table, and storage.

The one-piece molded head compartment is easy to clean and includes a marine head, shower, vanity, overhead hatch, and stowage for the companionway doors. A large access hatch leads to a spacious starboard locker, and additional hatches provide easy engine access for maintenance.

Calculations

Hull Speed
?

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

?
Classic formula: ?
Sail Area/Displacement
?

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
?
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
?

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

?
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
?

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
?
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
?

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
?
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
?

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
?
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
