| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs 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!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

Interesting question! I believe the answer is no. However, I had the same question over the possibility of the mast jumping off the step if I rocked it pretty far forward. (The mast butt is fastened to the step by two small screws, one on either side.) I discussed the issue with Buzz Ballenger, and he made me a plastic butt plug about 1/2 or 3/4 inch thick which I bolted to the hinged mast step plate. This plug extends upward into the mast to assure that the mast will never jump off the step as a result of it being rocked forward and backward. This was probably overkill, because I have never heard of an E27 mast jumping off the step.
