| 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)" |

| Author: Mark 42 Subject: Express 27 vs SC 27 Info: (14045 views) Posted: Wednesday 6-29-05 02:03:36 PM |
Since the Express 27 rates close to the same, and even though it's lighter, with a much lower amount of sail area, I'm beginning to wonder if the 396 sq ft for SC 27's is with a Genoa, not a 100% fore triangle calculation.
But I would like to know more about how the two boats compare. Here in the Seattle area there are a number of SC 27's... I crewed on one last weekend. But the Experess 27 intrigues me, and when I'm ready to move up to a bigger boat, I may want to consider it (though I doubt it would be in my budget like a SC 27 can be).
