Thanks to Graham for uploading the photo after i failed so dismally.  The picture is of us just about to win the Boxing Day race at RHYC in 2008.  As you can tell from the 'flatness' we had already seen the photographer!
Elise is one of the 4 boats built from the Winder/P&B mould by Ovington in the summer of 2007 and she was launched in time for the Northampton SC Gill/Inlands event in November that year (We were 2nd).  She was one of those boats that arrived in perfect 'ready to go' condition and just seemed to go.... a bit like 3431 did when i bought her.  Since then we have had a lot of fun, and been 2nd or 3rd at lot of events, with her.
