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!!

I'll check with my brother and post a good source. He is off sailing right now so it might take a week or so. Last time I had them made it was through Kim Desenburg. I believe he might be running the boat yard at Bay ship these days.

:: Thanks Jason. Can you direct me to someone who can make
:: them?
::
:: :: I would be careful as not all rudder shafts and bearing
:: :: supports are the same size. Off by a few mm will make a
:: :: big difference. Make sure you measure each one and
:: :: double check the sizes. I have had a couple pair made in
:: :: the past (not by Buzz) so there are plenty of places
:: :: that can make these.
:: ::
:: :: Just my $.02

:: :: Cheers,

:: :: :: I need new rudder bearings. Called Buzz Ballenger and
:: :: :: said he will make new one if he gets a minimum order for
:: :: :: five sets.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: I placed an order. Need four more. Anyone else need a
:: :: :: set?
