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 winner of the regatta was Ray Lotto and crew on El Raton. We (Moxie) were tied with El Rat going into the last race and he sailed very cleanly and without any mistakes to take the victory. Well done Ray!!!

Lots of carnage this last weekend. Strega lost the top few feet of their mast. It looked like Peaches lost their entire mast (though not confirmed) and we broke several things....outhull, jib turning block, windex (nice round-up that must have had the keel out of the water), and the jib halyard tensioner.Lots of bumps and bruises as well. But, we had some great surfs and very fun weekend.

I second the "good times" comment. Too bad we didn't see more of the fleet out there.

What other carnage did you other boats see?

:: Who won and who's going to write the story, and what
:: boat lost 3 foot at the masthead? Good times on the SF
:: Bay! Steve
