We have owned Elyse for 5 years now and find her to be everything we wanted (almost) in a cruising boat. Sophisticated yet simple to sail, exceedingly comfortable, fast on passages. In early May we sailed from New Zealand to Fiji, 2 of us, Opua to Savusavu 7 days and 3 hours, one board all the way, no problems. Currently we are cruising southern Fiji on our "apartement sur la mer"
