What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
23 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Perfect for groups The Elan 40 is a solid choice for families or friend groups of 6, 8 people looking for a manageable sailing experience. Three cabins with 8 berths spread comfortably across an 11.9m hull makes this a genuinely sociable boat without feeling cramped.
Practical and well-equipped You're getting the essentials here: lazy bag and lazy jack mean less wrestling with the mainsail, autopilot takes the strain on longer passages, and a fridge keeps provisions fresh. The dinghy is included, which saves you hire costs and gives proper freedom to explore anchorages, always a plus when chartering.
Fair value proposition A 2003 boat at a sensible price point with a €3,000 deposit is honest pricing; she's past her first youth but the kit suggests the operator maintains her properly. Arundel Yachting has a solid reputation, which matters when you're committing a long-haul journey to reach the base.
One thing to note You'll want to confirm the exact base location from Arundel, it's not listed here, since your flight routing and transfer times from the airport will depend entirely on whether you're launching from the Solent, the South Coast, or elsewhere in the UK.
