Actually the photo is not of Ellie Jay but is of Capri 25 #195 - ForeSail. The photo was taken from a helicopter on December 4, 1987. Interestingly it was taken one day before the lake froze over. Bob Bilger is at the helm and Trent (forgot his last name) is flying the spinnaker. I believe they had 100 prints made. The intent was to sell the prints to raise money to support the USA Olympic sailing team. I purchased the boat from Bob Bilger (broker not the original owner) and as part of the sale he gave me these two prints which I framed and I have hanging in my home. The second photo was taken the same day out on the main lake.
