| 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: Bob Harvey Subject: What lakes have you sailed your e27 in? Info: (16964 views) Posted: Sunday 3-12-06 06:14:54 AM |
I've only seen four Express 27s on trailers (one's mine). None of those trailers were set up to ramp launch.
In the case of my trailer, it would require the bottom of the tires to be about six feet eight inches under water before the boat would float.

:: :: Have you ramp-launched an e27? Which Lake(s)? Did you
