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!!

Subject: Motor Mount
Info: (16491 views) Posted: Friday 10-8-04 01:46:25 PM
Has anyone had problems with the tube the motor mount slides into? I haven't but it looks fragile and I am considering powering up to 5 or 6 hp. (I know I should be sailing but I have some tidal flow issues) I saw an Olsen 30 with a 71/2 hp with an interesting mount. It had a solid mount attached to a slider (same principle as the hatch slide)and a system of blocks to run it up and down. While in the water the motor was a bit closer to the stern than the Express mount and when raised it has to be eaiser to install and remove. It looked very lite. Does anyone use any mounting system other than the origonal?
