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 step fiberglass compression issues
Info: (27678 views) Posted: Monday 11-16-09 04:04:55 PM
The amount my mast has managed to scrunch the desk is minimal- barely visible. Thanks for the water intrusion warnings... I didn't think of that! I'll have to deal with this before doing serious sailing.

My boat's A-Frame does extend down below the V-berth plywood (Hull 40).

What I see is some cracking along the edges of the A-frame right below the mast step, and 2 other cracks heading forward away from the frame to the 2 mast step bolts.
