Tracking Elise's progress during the Coastal Cup

We should have that same ugly heavy transponder we had for the Pac Cup

We see much more clearly inside the boat this time around - no big liferaft inside the cabin (will fit outside in the cockpit most likely), not as much food and water, no need for a big 6 gallon water jug in the middle, no need for water bladders, no need for a big SSB near the nav table, loads more ways to hang up stuff (I added two hammocks for our gear and this kind of things)

There should be space in the port quarterberth to have some sails in there (hesitating to put the #2 and #3 up on deck again. They will be soaked after 10 minutes. Apparently there might be a weight advantage so still pondering the question).

Anyway, things will look much cleaner and spacious inside (or rather as spacious as it can be)

apparently there is only one other 27 footer and we are only two boats below 30 feet in this year's Coastal Cup.
