We have rough condition betwin Canarias and
Guadeloupe in december, the
boat was very confortable.
It is simply necessary to adapt the
sails to the weather conditions.
No technical problem except on the Thruster, (a short circuit without bad consequences)
We
lost our
genoa in a bad Gybe but our Elan has no responsability on that, only a 40 knts
wind...
We are very happy to have this boat, she has very good feeling about sea, fast enough, 6 to 8,5 nts with 15 to 25 knts of
wind.
19 days to go from El Hierro in Canaria island to
Guadeloupe, 7 knts average speed
17 days to go from
St Martin to
Azores (Horta), 6 knts average
The construction quality is very good way ahead of
Beneteau,
Jeanneau or others big brands.
