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!!

Haven't been on the web site since returning from vacation in S.F. We had the honor of attending Carl Schumacher's memoral service on the 24th. Truly a heart-felt and inspiring gathering and my thanks to the organizers and esp. to Sarah and the Magic Bus crew for letting me hitch a ride for the parade.

On to the boat. I noticed on several of the boats at St. Francis, the toe rail has been removed or in some cases replaced with T-track. Any problems with this? I would be concerned with separation of the deck from the hull with just flat head screws thru the deck...or is there something below decks I'm missing?
