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!!

Subject: Help with leaky chain plates
Info: (21318 views) Posted: Saturday 5-10-14 09:28:50 PM
I know one of the chain plates was starting to leak and I took them apart tonight.

I intend on dropping them and filling with epoxy then drilling them out to install back to normal.

In examining them, I discovered there is a small area of deck rot. About 4 x 3 inches to the aft. My question is this:

Do I drill a series of holes and fill with epoxy as I do the work mentioned above, or do I cut the top layer of deck off and rebuild the core?

I am putting the boat in the water in 8 days so any quick info is very much appreciated.

Thanks Don
