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: But let us know why you suggested 150# skipper
Info: (25468 views) Posted: Wednesday 3-19-08 07:56:44 PM

Hi Eric:

Okay, okay . . . but explain to us why you suggested 150#s as the skippers upper limit to me at the SKeel mixer. It makes sense to me. Others support similar strategy, So it must have made some kind of sense to you becuase you were the first to mention it. So what is that?

Please progress the dialogue along. This needs to be fully reviewed before the next National meeting.
