| 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)" |

>>>>>>I am thinkng about removing the teak platforms that the primary winches sit upon. The reason is that the trimmers seem to have trouble keeping the loaded line from slipping down from the winch and around the teak pad. When it is then loaded and an attempt to "bring it in" is make an override occurs.

>>The angle to winch should be 5 to 10 degrees.
If the angle is to small you get overrides.
One solution is to stretch a shock cord across the deck about 6 inches in front of the winch and pass the sheet underneath then to the winch. This keeps the wraps form overriding when the line is tailed before it is loaded.
If the angle to great because the winch pad is to high try reducing the gap between the which and the bottom of the pad by countersinking the winch in to the pad. This will stop the line jamming between the gaps and then the warp will slide back up on to the drum.
