| 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 not sure a shy kite is legal for class 1-design races. We're allowed to carry two spinnakers as long as one is a "used" spinnaker. The class rules define a "used" spinnaker as follows.
A "Used Spinnaker" is defined as one measured 18 months prior to the date of its classification as a "Used Spinnaker" and substantially used during that period. The intent of this rule is to not allow a yacht to carry different special purpose spinnakers.
Cheers
Dan

>>We had a shy kite on Opus and occasionally used it in the short-handed events on a tight reach. You will be able to hold a ful kite just as well if you have a full crew on the rail. I am not sure the actual mid gurth of the shy-kite, but as long as it is no less than 13'0", then it is legal. >>

>>In my personal opinion, I would not recommend you get one of these. IT is more of a luxury and there are plenty of other places in the boat that the moeny can be spent on.>>
