| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs 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!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

| Author: Bob Harvey ([email protected]) contact the author Subject: alignment of port for hoist strap Info: (23127 views) Posted: Wednesday 5-12-10 07:14:44 AM |
We had a nylon lift strap made with a shackle for the strap on the keel bolts, up through the port to a point about 1-1/2 feet above the deck. There's a heavy steel ring on the top end of the main strap. Two smaller nylon straps come off that same ring and are sized to center the main strap in the port with the boat level. They have carabiners at the deck end and these clip to the toe rail outboard of the winches.
I cant see why a 6 inch port wouldn't work. Just remember there needs to be a clearance cutout on the front edge of the hatch for the port.

:: We just recently purchased an E27. Could anyone tell me
:: why the port for the hoisting strap doesn't align with
:: the strap. There must be some reason for this. I read an
:: earlier post discussing how two extra lines secured to
:: the toe line near the winches are required to center the
:: strap through the hole.
:: The former owner of this boat obviously did not realize
:: this as there is damage to the deck at the port.
::
:: I am planning on cutting out the damage and putting a
:: 6" port instead. Is there any reason I could not do
:: this?
