English
Flair V has arguably the strongest specification and inventory ever ordered on an Elan 410. There’s a full carbon rig, very recent cruising sails and a comprehensive racing sail inventory, including a code 0 and two spinnakers. She’s had a very successful racing career, and more recently has been cruising around the UK and East coast of Ireland. There's 480Ah of LiFePO4 house battery storage, which provides a great opportunity for extended “off-grid” living. Currently located in Weymouth, having been recently launched and fully prepared for this season.

Owners Comments
The previous owner had great success racing Flair from new, before choosing to prioritise their time cruising, and we’ve had a great time cruising Flair along the South coast and Scilly Islands during 2021, followed by an even better time cruising anti-clockwise around the UK and East coast of Ireland during 2022.
The furling genoa and lazy-Jack mainsail make it easy to manage the sail plan, and we’ve always felt secure anchoring with the 20kg Rocna Vulcan.
The fully enclosed zip-on cockpit “tent” provides extra space and comfort protected from the elements, and the large LiFePO4house bank allows extended “off-grid” opportunities.
Although my wife is now looking forwards to more land based adventures, we’ll be very sad to see Flair go, but recognise that it would be an awful waste for her to remain unused in a marina.
Go on, you know you want to...
