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: Sliding hatch missing
Info: (15321 views) Posted: Tuesday 3-29-16 08:02:19 PM

Moxie's sliding companionway hatch went missing at Brickyard Cove sometime between late December and last weekend. The boat was in the dry storage yard at BYC in space 95 near the west end. I had not re-installed the hatch rails after a repair, but the slider was locked to the vertical hatch board which was fairly heavy Lexan, and I figured that would keep the hatch in place. Nothing else on the boat was touched, so I 'm suspecting it blew off somehow or some other natural disaster befell it as opposed to any foul play.

I posted a notice at BYC, but if anyone knows anything, please give me a call or email.

Anyone know of a source for a replacement? I can have Rufus pull a mold off another boat's hatch if all else fails, but (1) that seems complicated; and (2) he is (rather foolishly, in my view) prepping to sail his Melges 30/32 to Hawaii in the Pac Cup and is desperately trying to figure out how to cram enough stuff for 4 crew for into the thing to make it 2100 miles without resorting to cannibalism or worse.

Thanks,

Bill
