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!!

@ Chris: I like your schedule for the LDS. My boat will be supporting most of the races you have named. @ Oliver: thanks for starting this thread. BAMA with their DbleHandedFarralones race has the most sensible requirements for racing in the Ocean. My boat will probably do this race. SDK

:: Thanks Oliver for bringing up the 2016 schedule though
:: regrettably there is only 5 or 6 express 27 around that
:: qualify under the NorCal rules for ocean racing as only
:: 4 came out for last year (2015) crewed lightship. It
:: would be great to get 6+ out for Spinnaker Cup in 2016.
::
:: Now would be a great time to open a discussion on
:: revamping the E27 long distance series with some new
:: events distinctly different from the typical 1DS as well
:: as the previous LDS schedules.

:: Ergo schedule for 2016
::
:: Corinthian midwinters, CYC
::
:: Three Bridge Fiasco, SSS
::
:: Big Daddy Regatta, RYC
::
:: Double handed Farallones, BAMA
::
:: Corinthian Races, SSS
::
:: Round the Rocks, SSS
::
:: Spinnaker Cup to Monterey, SFYC/MPYC
::
:: Delta Ditch Run, SSC
::
:: Jazz Cup, SBYC
::
:: Vallejo 1-2, SSS
::
::
::
:: Pumpkin Regatta
::
:: Happy Holidays to all the express 27 owners and crew.
