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!!

Hi Larry, I have the same issue. COST!! $140.00 entry fee is too expensive to continue to support. The other issue is finding crew for a two-day regatta is difficult and time consuming. It would be great if there were low cost one-day regatta series. Do the Ditch Run and stay for the Delta Do Da June 17th at Owl harbor

:: Hello Larry, The main thing for me is expense. I can not

:: I do both the RYC Big Daddy and Great Pumpkin for the

:: Second reason is I like to get my boat home here in

:: Shore Tahoe in time to do the maintenance that I
:: deferred over the winter in time to get her in the water
:: by the first week in June or earlier. SDK
