Elise passes survey (required for SHTP)

She also had her rig checked and a few things repaired so she should be in good shape for the race. Clearly things can fail but they will not break because of lack of care and maintenance. At least THAT I can control.

Here is the executive summary from the survey.

REMARKS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This EXPRESS 27 racing sail vessel was found in overall very good condition. It has been meticulously prepared for off shore racing, complying with all future race requirements. The vessel is owned by a professional mariner and it was evident at the level of care and continued maintenance.
With continued care and maintenance, this vessel should provide years of continued service and provide a good insurance risk.

Well, it is not owned by a professional mariner but given the amount of care that Serge gives to the boat, I am not surprised that it looks as if it was the case...Elise is one lucky boat.
