2006 Elan Impression 384, USD 69 000

This 2006 Elan Impression 384 is a capable and comfortable cruising sailboat that has benefited from significant recent upgrades focused on energy independence, sailing performance, and cruising convenience. Known for her solid build quality, generous interior volume, and well-balanced sailing characteristics, the Impression 384 is equally suited for coastal cruising, island hopping, or extended liveaboard use.
