My first hire boat was an Elysian 27 Centre Cockpit in blue from I think Herbert Woods it was called "(Something?) Light", it would be in the late 70s maybe '78'. I am the one in the Captains hat and my mate Rob looking like someone out of the pop group Buggles! I remember the 3D Bass Boost Ghetto Blaster that we took along, held about 10 batteries and weighed a ton...and cost it in batteries too!....and yes I am drinking alcohol and steering with my feet...

I believe it would of been crystal light

You're correct. I hired it last year and it has a lovely classic feel about it. In my childhood I holidayed with my parents on Aston Goblin which had the same layout.

In Aston days it had a blue Hull I believe the old hoeseasons logo is near the helm on a plastic pack thing but it's still in really good condition and I belive they have 2 or 3 of astons boats

It's one of the older boats but still looks decent
