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!!

Perhaps we should understand what "integrated" means. Paraphrasing the dictionary, connecting two or more elements is integrating. It would seem that connecting a GPS does not define the system as integrated. If two instruments can "talk" to one another they are, by definition, integrated.

I agree with Will. When our rules were first written the instruments now available to us were only a dream. Their relative cost to 25 years ago is not that much. If we were to remove the prohibition of integrated instruments it could be a move to modernization of our class rules.
