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!!

Thanks Will,

Once this rain stops I'm gonna dive into that project. Once I'm to that point I'm sure I will have some more questions. Andy

:: Andy,

:: The best thing to do is to mark them at the deck and
:: then measure to the top. That way you can just measure
:: from the mark down once they are out to subtract the
:: correct length. Sometimes stantions have set screws thru
:: the socket down below that must be removed first. Once
:: the wire has been removed from the stantion top you can
:: insert a large round shaft screw driver to twist and
:: lift the stantion out if it is being stubborn. If its
:: really stuck you can hit the screw driver upwards with a
:: rubber mallet to break it loose.

:: Call me if you need any more help.

:: Will
