| 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 would like to replace my 2 hp honda with little biger
:: motor.
:: Alternative 4-5 hp tohatsu? Is the standart motor mount
:: capable of carring such load?
:: It is twice the weight -around 55lbs.
Hi: I've used a Suzuki 5 hp since the boat was new . . . it weighs 50#. Occasionally the thickness of the mount needs to be increased to accomodate the (shorter) length of engine mount bolt-downs . . . in which case I glued and screwed a second piece of teak the original.
