| 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)" |

>>Partial retraction: One of our fleet members just switched from hanks to a foil after ripping his spinnaker a couple of times, the last time a big rip. I have ripped spinnakers a few times. Maybe it was on the hanks. But I still prefer hanks.
>>I like the way the genoa and the jib set with a headfoil. The ability to change headsails more easily is a plus but is only used infrequently. I did win a North channel race, passing Weatheredge on a sail change. They had a hanked on headsail.
