| 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)" |

The Ditch run is one of the more "FUN" races of the year. It is a 67-mile downwind race up the Delta. It starts just outside Richmond yacht club and finishes off Stockton yacht club. Lots of gybing duals all the way up the river. Have to make sure you don't forget the sun tan lotion or cold beer. Those are necessities for this race!

:: have made for the boat thus far. With my old 5hp merc I
:: would have a violent reaction everytime I had to get it
:: out. Saves me 20lbs and keep me sane. good luck in the
