The Elan 700 is a 23.5ft masthead sloop designed by John Sharp and built in fiberglass since 1982.
The Elan 700 is a light sailboat which is a very high performer. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a racing boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
