It's gusty on the test day on the IJsselmeer off Medemblik. Thick grey clouds hang low. The wind repeatedly jumps from 16 to over 20 knots in showers. The Elan struggles to hold its line in the wind. And then it happens: the tester's foot slips from the support bracket to windward in a strong heel and sails down the wide cockpit. The foot gets caught between the traveller rail and the line. The boat immediately goes through the wind and is heeled over. The helmsman lies there, feeling a little oppressed and suffering - like the boat - from maximum loss of control.
The owner is on board and reacts swiftly, casting off the mainsheet. The boat rights itself and the chaos slowly dissipates. It can happen. Nothing is broken, so it's no big deal, but it's clear that the Elan wants to be driven carefully. Sure, the conditions would certainly justify a reef in the mainsail, but as soon as you fall away from the wind enough, the stability of the Elan is perfectly adequate to carry the entire downwind wardrobe.

A large width in relation to the length plus 1.1 tonnes of ballast at a depth of 1.90 metres (1.60 metres as an alternative) ensure a safe feeling on the Elan 310. The test boat is even equipped with a 2.15 metre deep performance keel. This lifts the leg a little to windward in every gust and converts the pressure into propulsion. However, at least one of the two rudders remains in the water even when the boat is heeling, which gives the helmsman a good feeling, even when there is a lot of pressure.
