The large battery capacity provides abundant energy for onboard systems, including induction cooktops, electric oven and grill, and a modern heat pump that controls heating and air conditioning. Enjoy year-round comfort with zero emissions and minimal maintenance. Performance and handling The GT5 shares its hull design with the award-winning Elan E5, renowned for its speed and stability. Twin rudders and twin helms offer excellent control and balance, making the boat easy to handle for both solo sailors and crews. Built as a true bluewater cruiser with race-winning potential, the GT5 delivers both excitement and confidence under sail.
