ELAN E4 – Owner's manual
5
1. FOREWORD
Dear sailor,
Setting sail towards distant shores and pristine ocean sunsets has always been a little boys
dream. Sailing is an act of nature: it is one of the last means to freely live your passion. We
filled this ELAN sailing yacht with passion – passion of design, traditional craftsmanship
and beauty.
We gave her passion – all you need is to give her love…
Your ELAN team
Even if everything has been planned and designed for the safety of the sailing yacht and its
users, boating is highly dependant on the weather conditions, the sea conditions, the
experience and physical shape of the crew, etc. and one can never ensure full safety.
This manual has been compiled to help you operate your sailing yacht with safety and
pleasure. It contains details of the sailing yacht; the equipment supplied or fitted, its systems
and information on its operation and maintenance. Please read it carefully, and familiarize
yourself with the sailing yacht before using it.
If this is your first sailing yacht or you are changing to a type of sailing yacht you are not
familiar with, for your own comfort and safety, please ensure that you obtain handling and
operating experience before assuming command of the sailing yacht. Your dealer, national
sailing federation or yacht club will be pleased to advise you about local sea schools or
competent instructors.
