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: Boomkicker Hard Vang…
Info: (5776 views) Posted: Saturday 1-1-22 09:44:23 PM
So I bartered some work for a Boomkicker hard vang for my E-27. It’s a new unit from a boat with a much larger main and it’s definitely too big or at least the support rods are too big. I spoke to the rep. At the company and he was awesome in general and told me I can return the whole unit and downsize in models or just get smaller rods…he also said his records show two different sizes that have been sold to E-27 owners. I’m looking for some feedback on what specific model any of you might be using in this brand. I sail the boat short handed so I mainly want this for reefing and of course to be able to elevate the boom in light running conditions…the stock Ballenger boom is definitely a bit on the heavy side. Thanks in advance, Pete.
