1991 "Elissa" Cole 19 in Canberra

1991 "Elissa" Cole 19 in Canberra
After learning to sail in a dinghy, and Hobie cat, we had sailing holidays in England and the Mediterranean, and it wasn't until we had moved to Australia that we had another boat in 1991,
"Elissa", a fixed keel, Cole 19, sailing and racing with the Canberra Yacht Club, in Australia.

Peter Cole is a well-known Australian boat designer and sailmaker.

Me gusta el punto de toma bajo, que hace cobren más importancia las embarcaciones y la imagen.

The scans came out very well, the photos are lovely with the reflections in the water. You did some serious sailing, compliments!
I do enjoy being on a boat but I feel safer when it's not too small and has a motor;-)

Thanks Gudrun. Yes the scanner is very good. Motors were frowned upon in Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra, so one had to sail onto the mooring. On our larger boats, a motor was essential, fighting the tide when returning to the marina, etc. We have mainly sailed in sheltered waters, although the Med can be quite frisky at times... Tides are always something to contend with, especially up in the Whitsunday Islands in Queensland.
