Predavatelj | Maks Vrečko
Maks Vrečko goji strast do jadranja in jadrnic že od leta 1994, ko je opravil izpit za voditelja čolna. Leta 2010 se je samostojno podal na svojo prvo plovbo s čartersko jadrnico, kar ga je, po nekaj letih stresa in nezgod, pripeljalo do spoznanja, da potrebuje več znanja.
Med letoma 2016 in 2018 je uspešno opravil zahteven izpit RYA Yachtmaster Offshore, s čimer je postavil temelje za zahtevnejše jadralne podvige. Svoje oceanske izkušnje je nadgradil z jadranjem preko Biskajskega zaliva in Avstralskega južnega morja.
Maks je lastnik jadrnice Elan 450 Karpo, s katero skupaj s svojo ekipo tekmuje na regatah. Najbolj odmeven uspeh je dosegel na prestižni regati Rolex Middle Sea Race, eni najtežjih offshore regat na svetu, kjer je ekipa osvojila 1. mesto v skupini IRC5.
Od leta 2019 Maks izvaja praktične tečaje za skipperje, ki navdušujejo tako začetnike kot tudi izkušene jadralce. Njegov pristop, osredotočen na intenzivnost in uporabne nasvete, zagotavlja udeležencem samozavest in veščine za varno ter uspešno plovbo.
Sopredavatelj | Tomaž Gregorič
Tomaž Gregorič se profesionalno ukvarja z navtičnim izobraževanjem že od leta 2001, ko je skupaj z Gregorjem Jeretičem ustanovil podjetje Spinaker d.o.o. Spinaker je od takrat izobrazil že več kot 36.000 ljudi, ki plujejo po Jadranu in drugih morjih. Spinaker pa je tudi avtor in založnik navtične literature v slovenščini in tujih jezikih, ki šteje že več kot 108.000 izvodov. Tomaž ni samo strasten jadralec, ampak tudi strasten pedagog, ki želi navtično znanje, tako teoretično kot praktično, prenesti na čim več bodočih navtikov in tistih, ki želijo svoje navtično znanje poglobiti.
Svoja teoretična znanja Tomaž neprestano širi s sodelovanjem z mnogimi evropskimi univerzami in akademijami na razvojnih projektih, svoja praktična znanja pa širi predvsem s pogostim poučevanjem na raznovrstnih tečajih jadranja in samostojno plovbo na Spinakerjevi jadrnici Dufour 350 GL.
Pomočnik predavatelja | Matic Vrečko
Matic je svojo prvo samostojno plovbo s čartersko jadrnico in skupino prijateljev izvedel pri 18 letih, pri 24 pa že samostojno preplul Atlantik. Njegovo vrhunsko znanje jadranja mu v regatnih ekipah pogosto prinese najzahtevnejšo vlogo taktika, kjer s svojimi odločitvami pomembno vpliva na rezultate.
Kot dipl. ing. strojništva je na družinski jadrnici Karpo izvedel vrsto tehničnih izboljšav, ki so prispevale k njeni boljši in bolj učinkoviti plovbi.
Matic svojo strast do jadranja uspešno prenaša na vrstnike. Poleg tega organizira flotna jadranja za mlade in poskrbi za zabavne aktivnosti, ki jadranje naredijo še bolj privlačno in nepozabno.
Predavanje: Odgovori na najbolj pogosta vprašanja skiperjev
The Gran Turismo 36 is the first boat in her category to combine really comfortable cruising with outstanding handling and sensations similar to those of a small outboard. Enjoy a wide variety of waterside pleasures in no time at all – start and play!
EXTERIOR DESIGN
The Gran Turismo 36 sets the tone with an elegant and sporty hardtop. Her hull has zipwakes for improved stability when turning and her deck plan provides specific living spaces for use throughout the day. A large built-in sun mattress on the foredeck offers a unique sunbathing space. While the stern’s hardtop complete with sliding roof combines protection and the joy of the open air. The spacious cockpit lounge area has room for up to 8 guests. Aft, a large sunbathing area faces the sea, opposite an outdoor galley. The driving station has two bench seats facing the sea, so four people can enjoy the thrills of navigation.
INTERIOR DESIGN
The lower deck is bathed in light from the long hull portholes. The level of comfort inside surpasses the standards usually found on a boat this size. The two double cabins, cosy lounge space, galley and shower space show attention to detail and a high trim level.
POWERFUL
No time to waste? The Gran Turismo 36 takes you where you want to go fast. She is really easy and great fun to drive, with space on board to relax, enjoy yourself and sleep comfortably.
EASY TO DRIVE
With inboard engine, diesel 2x300 HP, or with outboard engine 2x300 HP or 2x350 HP, she reaches top speeds that vary between 30 and 35 knots. With a joystick on top of a steering wheel, handling the fast Gran Turismo 36 cruiser is child’s play. Fitted with a bow drive and two Garmin 12” screens, she takes navigation assistance to new levels
INNOVATIVE SUNBATHS
In the cockpit, the large sun lounger extends to meet the swim platform, offering a true terrace over the sea. A large built-in sun mattress on the foredeck provides a safe and pleasant place to relax when the boat is underway. Protected by a sun awning (option) and equipped with modular head-rests, cup-holders and inner speakers, it becomes a living space in its own right.
TWO GALLEYS
An outdoor galley, protected by the hardtop, overlooks the swim platform and is key to social life on board. As for the main galley on the lower deck, its level of equipment is up to all kinds of culinary exploits.
TWO CABINS AND A SHOWER SPACE
The forward peak has generous space for a real owner cabin with a double bed and storage. An aft guest cabin provides two extra berths that can be brought together or separated depending on the crew on board. The shower space has a shower cubicle and washbasin, and the head is separate.

At Elan Yachts, we are expanding the customisation options for our popular Impression 45 model, offering more choices for interior finishes and materials. Previously available with a rustic oak interior and grey cupboard fronts, the Impression 45 will now be offered with three additional wood finishes:
- Natural Oak
- Natural Oak Brushed
- Natural Oak Brushed & Whitened
In addition to the expanded wood choices, we are now giving owners the ability to personalise the colour of the galley cupboard fronts and countertops, allowing for even greater flexibility in interior design. Customers can choose from a plethora of different color options for galley cupboard and cabinet fronts, as well as counter colorus, allowing them to mix and match - creating a virtually infinite amount of creative combinations.
A Designer’s Perspective on the New Interior Palette
To explore the potential of these new material options, we invited an interior designer to create some example configurations from all of the available options. The designer chose Natural Oak Brushed & Whitened as the base finish, noting that its soft, textured appearance provides a refined backdrop for a wide range of colour options. “This lighter oak finish works beautifully with pastel tones, offering a fresh and modern aesthetic that feels both elegant and inviting”, the designer explained.
From there, three distinct colour combinations were selected for the galley cupboard fronts and countertops:
Deep Blue – “A sophisticated, modern choice reminding us of an elegant city apartment, bringing depth and contrast to the interior.”
Cacao – “A warm, earthy tone that enhances the natural wood elements, creating a cosy, welcoming space, while keeping within the tradition of nautical interiors.”
Eucalyptus – “This is my favourite combination—light, warm, and effortlessly modern. The unique pale green tone stands out while maintaining a sense of balance between warmth and style.”
The Impression 45 is built with safety, comfort, and easy sailing in mind, and yet its performance stands out in its class. Thanks to smart naval architecture by Humphreys Yacht Design, it delivers better speed and handling than many comparable cruising yachts. What also sets it apart is our own 75-year-old in-house carpentry workshop, where our experienced craftsmen create interiors that blend modern elegance with traditional craftsmanship. The Impression 45 features high-quality wood finishes, solid wood details, and durable construction—contrasting with many competitors who rely on lighter, easy-to-assemble materials.
These updates reflect our commitment to offering more customisation while maintaining the build quality and craftsmanship that define the Elan Yachts brand. The new material options are available for all newly ordered Impression 45 models, starting immediately.
