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!!

Subject: Mast base

Our mast plate was in rough shape this season. What we did was place each half in a secure vice on a work bench and pounded bent and twisted until each half fit nicely. Not the most glamorous solution but it worked. We've found that stepping the mast with a gin pole whenever possible helps prevent the bending from reoccurring. Dan
