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: Windows in sails

Jason,

Thanks for the info. On your genoa window, did you just replace a laminate panel with a triangular piece of clear plastic, or did you insert a rectangular window which cuts across the panel seams? Kame recommends the latter.

Thanks

Dan

:: Dan,

:: We have done a lot of testing with the placements of
:: windows at UK sails. We placed a vision window in the
:: top of the main so the trimmer can see the position of
:: the top spreader in relation to the headsail. This keeps
:: the crew on the rail while trimming the sail.
::
:: We also put a big window in the Genoa so the foredeck
:: can see crossing traffic.
::
:: I believe these are the only two windows that we
:: currently install on our new sails.
::
:: Does Kami have any recommendations on where to put the
:: windows?
