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 have the sample that was made up last year. The inner diameter is a little loose, but the material is what is important. The guy who was suppose to make the bearings flaked on us so we need to find someone else. I would be interested in purchasing a set for Exocet, and after touring the RYC boatyard and testing other rudders I am sure there are plenty others that should be interested.

Let me know when you find a builder and I will pass off the prototype I have.

Jason
