| 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: Mike Bruzzone ([email protected]) contact the author Subject: Express 27 survey needed Info: (27502 views) Posted: Monday 11-27-06 11:38:56 AM |
I've seen the Top Gun recently . . . the boats in great shape . . . except the bulk head needs a new support brace . . . and I'd replace the phillips round head bolts (tack fitting, after lower fitting, back stay fitting) with good 3 or 4 star hex heads . . . update the after lower brace attachment at the seats with U-bolt/marine eye arrangement.
The boat is sailable, however, needs the bulkhead vertical legs (forward) lenghtened to just above the hull, making sure the bulkhead is (again) in an even vertical plane, with new horizontal piece fore and aft. This type of repair was the subject of an earlier mail still on the site.
The bulkhead actually is not in bad condition . . . but its only a matter of time and hard sailing.
I put those big bolts through the horizontal piece years ago for the original owner.
Bruce Sibley is a good surveyor.
I don't think the boat needs to be surveyed . . .its in real good shape except for the bulkhead and minor upgrades.
