Introducing the S/V Elena, designed by the renowned E.G. van de Stadt and built by Ebert Werft Neckarsteinach in Germany. This Van de Stadt 343 model exemplifies exceptional seaworthiness and balanced handling, particularly in challenging heavy weather conditions. The steel construction lends itself to a robust and durable sailing experience. Editorial reviews from prestigious European publications, such as Yachting Monthly, have consistently praised the Van de Stadt 343 for its performance-oriented design, describing it as feeling more like a performance cruiser than a traditional heavy-displacement voyager with its quick responsiveness at the helm.
On the interior, this Van de Stadt 343 has a comfortable, well-thought-out two-cabin layout with an abundance of beautiful cabinets and drawers, providing ample storage space for all your sailing essentials and personal belongings. The private forward cabin sleeps two in a cozy large V-berth and the large overhead hatch provides plenty of ventilation. Moving into the salon, you’ll find an inviting L-shaped settee that is perfect for gatherings or relaxing while enjoying the scenery. A beautifully crafted folding table enhances the dining experience. Across from the settee is the spacious galley, which is equipped with refrigeration, a two-burner stove with oven, and a double sink with hot and cold water. The head is located aft, behind the galley, and is complete with a shower and marine toilet. To port you will find the well-equipped navigation station, allowing you to chart your course with confidence. Behind this station is the second double berth, designed for comfort and privacy and featuring ample storage for your belongings.
The S/V Elena is equipped with a wealth of features that enhance both safety and comfort, making it suitable for both coastal cruising and longer voyages.
It also boasts several noteworthy improvements that enhance its functionality and comfort.
