New official pictures

Here are some of the new, official 310 pictures from the elan site:
























This is a different boat from the "Miss Sixty" that has been shown previously, and from the pictures there seem to be a couple of differences (wonder if these are custom or "the new standard"?):

  • The furler looks like it is of the "below deck" type
  • The gennaker seems cut lower and follows the deck further aft than the previous sails did
  • The transom seems a bit lighter in the water? (Difficult to tell, but it definitely looks that way - cross your fingers!)
  • The "out-of-water" rudder seems to be creating less drag (again: difficult to tell)
All in all, can't wait to get some hands-on testing of the 310!
