Broker's Comments
The Elan 333 is a sought-after model for those looking for a fast cruiser with comfortable accommodation and this example has many sensible upgrades and equipment for coastal and offshore cruising with her extensive nav aids.
Lines are led aft and she is well set up for shorthanded sailing. Her performance is assured with her deep 1.9m keel, tall mast, folding prop and a very sleek underwater shape.
Below decks the quality is apparent with lovely joinery and upholstery. The chart table is located to starboard with a new Icom M510E and AIS. Across the top of the companionway hatch are the Depth, Speed and Wind instrumentation repeated on the modern binnacle where an Axiom Pro 9S and Autopilot has been fitted.
The galley located to port and is practical to use both at sea and in harbour. The saloon has a straight settee to starboard and a “U” shaped settee to port (with lee cloths for passage making) plus a nice drop leaf saloon table between. The forepeak area houses a good-sized double berth with practical stowage and a second double cabin is accessed aft of the galley again with good stowage.
The engine is located under the companionway steps and has lift out panels for maintenance access. The heads/shower compartment is aft of the chart table to starboard and is complete with a wet locker area and holding tank.
