44' Elan 431 Team

The perfect cruiser for a larger family and guests. Altough a very few information available to the US boaters because of the lack of advertizing in that era, the Elans 431 are some of the best in their class ever designed and built. This particular sailing yacht being realistically priced and an excellent value for money. A few yachts can beat on price for the brand / size / vintage / condition. A true blue water, capable of easy handling in all conditions, with virtually unlimited possibilities of adjusting the sail plan, and a "boat shape" boat. Fine, strong, intact sailing yacht. She is US flagged, not having EU or Croatian Vat paid. Second owner from new. She can be exchanged with no less than 40ft sailboat in the Med. Now placed in one of the best sailing locations on Earth, as National Geographic advises..
