Elan 333 (1998) for sale in Hythe, Hampshire, United Kingdom

Designed by the renowned Rob Humphreys and robustly built in 1998 by Elan Yachts, the Elan 333 has stood the test of time and remains a great cruiser-racer for its size. With great sailing and manoeuvring characteristics the design rewards anyone enjoying her under sail.

This example has been carefully maintained and updated by its current owners, who have reluctantly decided to sell Eau Em Gee due to a change of circumstances. Eau Em Gee is a lovely Elan 333 in fair condition for its age. The vessel comes with desirable modifications from new (e.g. larger wheel and larger primary winches) and recent upgrades such as new B & G instruments. Being one of the older Elan 333s the vessel benefits from shaft drive, with ensuing maintenance and manoeuvrability benefits.

Eau Em Gee is SSR registered in the UK and VAT paid.
