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!!

:: Hello, fellow E27 owners; I just bought an E27, and am
:: in the process of getting her ready to sail, hopefully
:: by this coming January.
::
:: It looks like I'll need an outboard motor, and was
:: wondering if a 4-hp, 20"-shaft Tohatsu outboard is
:: appropriate?
::
:: The boat just arrived at the Brickyard Cove Marina from
:: the East Coast this past week - Hull #9, currently named
:: "Pegasus".
::
:: Thanks in advance for any comment/suggestion.

Nov 28, 10am Welcome to the fleet and Brickyard Cove. Many e 27's, mine included, use the Honda 2, or the newer 2.3, for an outboard. A bit underpowered, but light and reliable. Honda wieghs a bit less then 30 lbs and is easy to get off and on the stern. Pushes the boat about 5 mph in flat water and no wind or waves. I am not familiar with the Tohatsu you mentioned. SDK
