| 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)" |

| Author: Mark Lowry-- SF fleet poobah Subject: Farallones Rules Exception!!! Info: (12027 views) Posted: Wednesday 4-4-07 05:58:13 PM |
It has been requested that we relax the express class sail inventory rules for those competing in the double-handed farallones race. The proposal is that for this race only, boats may carry and set at their discretion: shy-kites, reaching kites, and blast reachers.
If anyone planning on doing this race does not have access to these sails and feels that they will be at a material disadvantage because of not having access to these sails for this race, and they post a message on this site explaining this position, this exception to the class rules will not apply, and the sail inventory will be limited by the current class rules. The objection posting to the farrallones event space must be posted no later than 5:00 PM Thursday 4/5. I will issue a final ruling on the sail inventory no later than noon on Friday 5/5.
We are currently discussing amending the class rules to allow the use of specialty sails for long-distance ocean races. We will try to get these changes made and ratified within the next couple of weeks. Stay-tuned.
