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!!

I removed the toe rail on Maximus (now Moxie) last year primarily for crew comfort. We left the front third on back to the first stancion as the foredeck does rely on the toe rail for footing. When we took the rail off we counter sunk the holes for the bolts and replaced them then placed grip tape over the top. The through bolts may or may not help in a collision and the grip tape helps for better footing when the boat is NOT HEELED over. If you plan to race in the ocean a lot, keep them on as the risk of going overboard is much higher, obviously.

Crew does hike more effectively now, and we had the PVC wrapped pads on prior to removng the toe rail.
