The 4 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Elan 431 was built in 1996 and it is docked in Tribunj, Croatia. The Elan 431 (1996) can accommodate up to 8 people in 4 cabins and it has 3 toilets. The overall length of the boat is 43 ft / 13,0 m. The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): bathing platform, stand up paddle (sup), air condition and it’s obligatory extras: transit log. The main sail is full batten. You can check-in from 17:00 h and check-out until 10:00 h.
Why charter this Elan 431
4 cabins for 8 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 2.7 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 13 m, this sailing yacht works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Elan 431 suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 4 cabins and 3 heads. Sailing crews should keep one fallback leg for wind shifts, late sea state and the final marina return.
The Šibenik archipelago and the Kornati from Tribunj
Tribunj is a picture of old Dalmatia, a fishermen’s village on a tiny islet joined to the shore by a stone bridge, its harbour still lined with working boats, right beside Vodice. A first hop to Prvić or the bays of Murter stays well out of the swell and makes an easy start. Zadar Airport (ZAD) is a 50–75-minute road transfer, and Split (SPU) is about the same. The near archipelago of Prvić, Zlarin and Kaprije offers enough short, sheltered sailing to fill most of a week without a long passage. The crossing out to the Kornati is the one leg that needs a calm day, so keep the final day among the near islands. The park requires a ticket and anchoring is limited to marked bays, so plan the visit ahead. The outer Kornati and Žut lie further offshore; reaching them adds more open-water miles and a longer return, so that extension is better suited to a two-week itinerary.
