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)" |

:: The boat is not salvagable, she was under water with a
:: pile through her back,at right angle to her slip, under
:: a 10' surge with 3 to 4' swells over her for 20+ hours.
:: We just have never ever seen anything like this. The
:: hole is 4-5' wide, the starbord bow has a hole 3'
:: wideabove the waterline, the rudder is broken in half.
:: The keel to hull joint looks like new, not even a hair
:: line crack.The express is unbelievably strong, people
:: who see her can not believe there is anything left, its
:: just those damn pilings
::
:: :: Dave,
::
:: :: I am in the process of rebuilding another E-27 after it
:: :: was damaged in a collision. Within the next couple of
:: :: weeks I am going to the moulds to make new parts. What
:: :: condition is your boat in? Is it salvagable or totaly
:: :: crushed? Do you want help fixing or would you want to
:: :: sell it?
::
:: :: With all the tough times down there I wish you well.
:: :: Hopefully you have not lost more than your boat.
