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!!

Subject: Recommendations for a knotmeter?
Info: (28058 views) Posted: Tuesday 1-23-07 06:25:36 PM
If you do not want to replace the exsisting hull fittings, I would suggest that you contact Airmar (sp?). They have helped me with several boats and with this very same issue. Airmar produces sensor/transducer parts as throughull fittings for many manufacturers. They were able to replace a old KVH transducer to fit a COMNAV Nexus fitting on my Melges that I had given up hope of finding a transducer that would fit the old KVH throughhull. Once you have an idea what transducers will fit the throughhull you may be able to figure what manufacturers you can purchase to fit. Tom

:: Hi -

:: I need to replace the knotmeter on Elise - do you have
:: any recommendation for a good instrument set. I don't
:: know if there is a standard throughhull diameter, but
:: would love not to have to drill holes into the hull...If
:: it could be just drop and replace, it would be fabulous.

:: Any pointers appreciated!
