2006 Elan Impression 384

This 2006 Elan Impression 384 is a 38-foot cruising sailyacht built from fiberglass with a reputation for solid construction and balanced sailing characteristics. The boat measures nearly 13 feet across the beam, providing generous interior volume typical of the Impression line. She is powered by a single 40-horsepower Volvo Penta diesel engine and will cruise at 8 knots with a top speed of 10 knots.

The interior includes three cabins and two heads, making the layout suitable for cruising couples, small families, or extended liveaboard arrangements. Tankage is substantial for a yacht of this size: 170 liters of diesel fuel, 400 liters of fresh water, and a 60-liter holding tank.

Recent upgrades center on energy independence and sailing capability. New sails were commissioned in 2024 including a mainsail and 120 percent genoa. The electrical system has been modernized with 200 Ah of lithium house battery storage, three 280-watt solar panels with Victron charge controllers, a 1000-watt inverter, and associated charging equipment. Rigging service was completed in 2024. Additional equipment includes a Quick 1500-watt electric windlass, a Highfield 260 inflatable dinghy with 6-horsepower Tohatsu outboard, a copper-coat antifouling system, and a new Dometic gas stove.
