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!!

HELP we sailed a light air race lastweekend 5k to6k smooth water.800 pounds of weight. 2 times around windward leward 1.5 mile legs. Sat on by olson 40 at start, tacked away ran down a pearson flier and J29 mast head. sail past to leaward tacked and crossed. Went to far left but still rounded close behind. Could not keep time down wind even passed by olson (2) 25s mast heads. This is PHRF but is still fun. How hot should we sail off the wind and would a mast head spin pay in these cond. thanks for any help.
