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: VHF radio antena
Info: (24544 views) Posted: Thursday 2-9-06 07:52:31 PM
Hi Roger, Ok for starters, I will give you the part numbers from a West Marine which you can look up online at their store or from a catalog. I forget the exact antenna but mine is similar to the a Shakespeare 5225-XT West Marine number 1186097. The antenna mount is a; no lever Stainless Steel stanchion mount West Marine number 534669 and the thru-deck fitting is a 123851 coaxial cable deck fitting. I mounted the actual VHF right above the nav station to the underside of the deck just forward of the aft lower support cable. I hope this helps. Tom
