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!!

This is a great loss for the class and for the sailing community as a whole. My only interactions with Carl were when I first purchased my boat in 1998 and I called Carl on several occasions to ask him about the boat and questions that I had in restoring it. Unlike other designers that I have had the misfortune of working with, Carl was kind, humble, forthcoming with advice and suggestions, told me to call him with questions, and rebuffed my suggestion that I pay him for his time. I have greatly admired his many designs over the years and am proud to own what I consider to be his greatest design.
