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 don't know much about the Sonoma 30 off the top of my head, but the boats were built around the same time as the Express 27. I'm not sure how many were built.

As for the Sonoma 30's step-child, it's the Sonic, not the Synergy. A builder in Pt. Townsend, WA saw the Sonoma 30 in the early 90s and wanted to build a slightly updated version. He worked with Carl on the design and apparently built several boats. I don't know where they are now. Incidentally, this builder is the same guy who built Express 27 hull #117...

The Synergy is a completely independent design, though those boats were also built in Washington State.

:: It is a Schumacer design and similar the the e27. I have
:: heard that the lines of the boat are basically what led
:: up to the Synergy1000 (without the bowsprit).
