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!!

Gary, congratulations on your new Express. I just replaced my tiller for the same reason-mine split after a bad storm.

In a previous message string, Ralph Deeds indicated it's a standard Catalina 22 tiller. I took mine shopping, and found an exact match in stock at Boat US. West Marine also carried them. In any case, your new tiller will require a new butt plate for the stopper bolt, and am lot more varnish.

>>I recently purchased Hull #59 and relocated it to Klamath Falls, OR, where we now have five Expresses. When I bought the boat, I noticed that the tiller is beginning to delaminate. I would like to replace it. Does anyone know where to obtain a new tiller that would fit the Express?
