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!!

The Sobstad Cleveland loft makes very good Dacron mains and Kevlar #1s for very reasonable prices.

Also, don't overlook Santa Cruz Sails, in Santa Cruz. If I'm not mistaken, the boat that won the nationals this year (Baffett) used Santa Cruz sails. I believe the second and third place boats used Quantums and the fourth place boat, Pineapples. If you want to use a pole launcher on the boom, I would recommend getting a loose footed main. All the Detroit boats and many of the SF boats use loose-footed mains.
