| 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'm told I will likely want to purchase some new sails for the boat I just got. It is from Detroit where I'm told they like flat mains.

Hi Bob,
The only limit I know of on new sails is for the spinnaker. The rules state that you can carry two spinnakers, but one must be at least one year old. There are several sail lofts in the area, and I hesitate to make any recommendations because I'll probably forget someone, but here goes. Quantum, UK, and Pineapple Sails are all local and very familiar with the boat. I'm sure you can get someone from any one of these lofts to come out and make some recommendations. (If they won't, try someone different!)
