| 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)" |

| Author: Paul Cronin ([email protected]) contact the author Subject: New rudder & keel templates Info: (23095 views) Posted: Monday 4-21-14 07:52:13 PM |
I have mylars an will make templates tomorrow. Most of the keel is down to lead. The AME factory resin casting popped off the lead.
No way to find out what the class keel shape is so I am going with what makes sense for the keel.
Will have blog post on my site along with new rudder info, an the 22 sq-ft of deck core I replaced at both chain plates an the mast step. That part is done. On schedule for mid May launch then some E27 fun!
