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: Window Leak repair

Like Brendan said, acetone is evil stuff for acrylic or lexan. I have used it to clean gel coat on both my sailplane and my boat. As he clearly states, it will soften the finish and should be used carefully. I am on the other side of the US from TAP so I cut my own windows. It is not that hard. I prefer acrylic over polycarbonate, it lasts longer for me. To seal the windows I used marine grade butyl tape, you can optionally embed a spacer in the tape to avoid too much squeeze out. The spacer is a plastic line like string trimmer cord. Commercial window dealers sell the butyl tape with the spacer. No leaks after 6 years in hot wet Florida.

imo avoid silicone unless you get the best commercial quality. Your local hardware or West Marine do not sell them. Very hard to use for a first time repair. mariner #44
