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!!

Mine and most of the boats I see around RYC the twings come off the rail about even with or slightly forward of the aft lowers. SDK

:: Mine are mounted very close to the widest part of the
:: boat. It lines up with the 2nd screw from the front of
:: of forward window. It's been there for ages and I doubt
:: any science was applied to the positioning.

:: :: Getting the new boat ready for our first Wednesday
:: :: nighter and I'm wondering where the best place to put
:: :: the twings on the rail - just aft of the shrouds or
:: :: further back closer to the widepoint?
