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!!

Thanks for the info, Jason. I'm looking forward to joining the SF fleet!

:: Maryann,

:: Welcom to the fleet! I bought hull #56 some years ago
:: and had it shipped from South Carolina to SF on a flat
:: bed truck. As long as they have four pads holding the
:: boat in place on the truck (similar to how a normal
:: trailer holds the boat in place) all should be fine.

:: :: I recently bought hull #96 and will need to haul it out
:: :: of the water in preparation for its being shipped to San
:: :: Francisco. Where would the slings best be placed on the
:: :: hull? If the boat can't be put directly on the delivery
:: :: truck, what would be the best way to block it to store
:: :: it out of the water for a few days - number of blocks to
:: :: use, and placement? Does anyone have a blocking plan
:: :: that I could give to the yard? Thanks in advance for
:: :: your help.
