| 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)" |

That just seems too easy :) Great idea. Wondering if you have any other pics of the boat or good improvements such as this.

:: Bryan,
::
:: See link for an above-deck jib hal fine tune option.....
:: we use it upwind for jib hal tension adjustment but also
:: downwind for fraculating without needing to use a winch.
::
:: There are sexier through deck options but this took all
:: of 20 mins to put in place and it works great while
:: minimizing holes in the boat :-)

:: :: Hi all,
:: ::
:: :: I'm going to install a jib halyard tensioner and I don't
:: :: have another e-27 around with one installed to pattern
:: :: after.
:: ::
:: :: I'm going to do a system that is different from the
:: :: under deck ones and I need to know how much the halyard
:: :: needs to move to get to max tension.
:: ::
:: :: I know it will depend on how much you bring in the
:: :: halyard in the first place. Assume a typically hurried
:: :: raise prior to a leeward mark rounding with no winch
:: :: involved & no backstay on.
:: ::
:: :: 4 inches? less? more?
:: ::
:: :: Thanks
:: ::
:: :: Bryan
