| 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: Ralph Deeds Subject: Hull # 80 comes home! Info: (12393 views) Posted: Sunday 4-1-07 03:55:27 PM |
:: Get a new one! Don't mess with that. You should replace
:: both uppers so they match and if the rest is over 5
:: years old you might as well replace them too.

::
:: :: Hull #80 has come home. We had a successful tow from LA
:: :: To SF this week. We took 5 over the grapevine and dodged
:: :: all the mad truckers.
:: ::
:: :: It's my understanding that Hull 80 had never been in the
:: :: pacific waters untill just this last month. I was told
:: :: she was ordered and sent to the east coast where she has
:: :: spent her entire life (please correct me if I'm wrong).
:: ::
:: :: We resteped her yesterday and hope to have a sail this
:: :: week, although we did screw something up. Accidentally
:: :: we bent the threaded bar that attaches the turnbuckle to
:: :: the swag on the uppers (don't ask how as I'm rather
:: :: embarrassed). We were able to straighten it from it 45
:: :: degree bend, but my question is is it safe to reuse post
:: :: straightening and if not where can we get a new one.
:: ::
:: :: Mike
