The excellent Norwegian importer of Elan boats, Fjordsail, has just announced that they will end the relationship with Elan effective immediately. All warranty issues will still be honoured by Fjordsail for new and existing Elan customers.

This is sad news for all existing Elan owners in Norway, as Fjordsail has been both a key driver for sailing in Norway, both cruising and racing (especially shorthanded), and provided Elan owners access to his great knowledge of sailing and tuning.
Fjordsail continues in the business, though, primarily with the Seascape brand.
Hopefully a new importer will be announced soon to take the Norwegian Elan market and make plans for the future. After all, I'm not afraid to say so: I'm quite proud of Silverminken, as it's a great little boat.
Perhaps the Swedish importer will reach out and become a nordic distributor? "Nordic Yachts" does sound like that, doesn't it? Who knows...
