| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28. "My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton. My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell. So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

I have sailed on a Santa Cruz 27 quite a bit. They are fun and good sailing boats... if you are the helmsman. I don't think the ergonomics on the Santa Cruz 27 are as nice as the Express. The rest of the crew felt there wasn't enough room and got banged up every race. As a one design boat they are as fun as many boats their size. I don't think they are quite as responsive as the Express 27. Also, I don't think they are as well built. The proof that I prefer the Express27 is that I considered both and bought an Express. Happy hunting. We would love to have you join us.
Just my 2,
bd
