Join us for an in-depth exploration of Elan Yachts’ advanced composite technology, celebrating 75 years of innovation in yacht construction. In this video, we’re taking you on a tour through rich history of boat building and get to know you with sophisticated techniques behind our composite work, from the pioneering days of glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) in the 1960s to the advanced application of Vacuum Assisted Infusion Lamination (VAIL) technology in 2003. You will see how we create hulls, decks and components of Elan Yachts and learn about the intricate VAIL process, that ensures even resin distribution, optimal mechanical properties and significant environmental benefits. We also take you through the steps of creating a fore laminate, which is crucial for preventing osmosis and achieving flawless surface of the yacht. Explore the science and strategy behind selecting and layering various types of fibers and cell foams to construct yachts that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but exceptionally strong and durable.

Delivered in 2022 by @Sanlorenzoyacht, she's the second hull in the 62Steel series-sleek, sculptural, and unmistakably modern. With exterior and interior design by Officina Italiana Design, Alchemist strikes a perfect balance between Italian elegance and smart, minimalist form. She spans four decks, with a beam of 12 meters and volume of 1,300 GT-room for six staterooms, a beach club, pool, spa, and fold-down terraces that open right onto the sea. Powered by twin MTU diesel engines, Alchemist cruises effortlessly at 16 knots with transoceanic range-built for both quiet escapes and statement arrivals. A yacht designed for those who appreciate quiet confidence over loud opulence. @yachtworld
