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!!

I vote for Santa Cruz. And I also like the idea of having a feeder race to get down there that would be part of the LD series.

Cheers, Mark

:: Jason, Santa Cruz would be great. Ideally, get at least
:: an informal feeder race on the calendar or better still,
:: put Windjammers in as the long distence race as the
:: first day of the nationals. Either way - great town for
:: a regatta, hotels w/in walking distence of the club,
:: they do a good job running a regatta down there and its
:: a great family venue as well.
::
:: :: Just wondering who might be interested in travelling for
:: :: the 2009 Nationals? Some years ago we had a great event
:: :: in Santa Cruz. What about Lake Tahoe or Lake Huntington?
:: :: Anybody willing to travel to either of these locations?
:: ::
:: :: Could make for a great family venue with camping and
:: :: lots of other fun things to do besides sailing.
:: ::
:: :: Chime in and let me know your thoughts.
