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!!

Harold,

It's been a few years since I had my Express and bent the rudder post. I had a guy out in California build one from the class molds. I believe he might have had to either build new molds or pay the class to use them. His first name, I think was Kim, the last name maybe Desenberg. I think he's a big Wylie Wabbit sailor and used to work for (guess) Pacific Yachts. He worked with a new yacht repair company, I think it was called KMI. Maybe some the audience can fill in the details. I don't have a phone number for him, but I think he worked in the San Fransisco Bay area.
