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!!

We used a #2 occasionally in PHRF when light on crew and in the 14-18 knot wind range (ish). There are SO many different ways to cut sails that there's no pat answer on wind ranges and lead positions. Our #1 was fairly full (typically light air area). Lead position for the #2 was about a foot forward of where our #1 position averaged, so maybe middle of the back window?

:: We race PHRF and have sometimes with light crew needed
:: to down size sails. I have a #2 Genoa but have to
:: convert the luff tape for the head foil system I have.
::
:: My quesiton is two part, one - Do people use a #2; next
:: where does the lead car come to on the track? Is it
:: between the windows, etc.
::
:: Thanks for the help.
