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!!

Don't touch a drop until the job is done. Sobriety and having one's wits about are essential. I will drop off to you at RYC this weekend detailed instructions on what works for me. Meanwhile, look on Dianne's trailer at space 3 Brickyard cove to see the strut used to rest the mast on to prevent the mast from levering a hole in the cabintop. All this assumjing your mast hinges back to the stern. SDK

:: All,
::
:: I wanted to get some intelligent suggestions, best
:: practices regarding taking down the mast on the
:: Express27 for transporting the boat and mast. Also, some
:: intelligence around best practices for reinstalling the
:: mask would be a plus as well.
::
:: Has anyone in the fleet ever gotten this down to a
:: science, or do I just drink a lot and wing it?
::
:: Note: I will be working on ‘Salty Hotel’ during the
:: mid-winters, as it needs lots of updating to the
:: non-skid, hardware layout, and interior.
::
:: Looking forward to next season,
