Sail Number 4
Designed and built by the very successful Burgoine in 1902 Estelle's first owners were EM Bond and HM Bond of
Thames SC. Always a very quick boat Estelle was one of the first to have, in 1938, one of the tall 45ft masts that are
now such a feature of the rater.
Estelle has had a lot of success over the years and was one of the most regularly sailed under owner Martin Grounds.
Sadly the year 2000 saw Martin announce this would be the last year he sailed Estelle at Bourne End, and the boats
immediate future.
