| 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 don't know much about the Sonoma 30 off the top of my
:: head, but the boats were built around the same time as
:: the Express 27. I'm not sure how many were built.
::
:: As for the Sonoma 30's step-child, it's the Sonic, not
:: the Synergy. A builder in Pt. Townsend, WA saw the
:: Sonoma 30 in the early 90s and wanted to build a
:: slightly updated version. He worked with Carl on the
:: design and apparently built several boats. I don't know
:: where they are now. Incidentally, this builder is the
:: same guy who built Express 27 hull #117...
::
:: The Synergy is a completely independent design, though
:: those boats were also built in Washington State.
