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!!

OK guys, I have been thinking about the comment someone made about getting someone else to drive the boat when the driver is heavy in order to get more weight on the rail. That suggests I give my boat away. The alternative is a MINIMUM driver weight and if you weigh less, either bulk up or give your boat away to someone heavier. It makes about as much sense as my giving away my boat. I have done too many regattas with 4 to make weight over the years to ever do it again. Superscillious- yes. but I hope I make the point that giving away to boat does not make any more sense than racing with 4.
