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: Sails winning in class

I have to agree with Paul that all four sailmakers are well represented in the top of the fleet. Most probably know that I represent UK, so I am a little biased towards our sails.

I would be happy to provide a list of prices to you Jari if you are interested. We will be doing a winter discount/group discount if we can get enough boats interested in some new sails.

As to which type of material....If money is not an object then go with the mylar mainsail, but the Dacron is just as good and will actually last a bit longer. Definitely go with Carbon or kevlar on the headsails as that is pretty much a given these days.

I have a very simple tuning guide and lots of recommendations to get you up to speed quickly. Just send me an e-mail or give me a call.

Thanks, Jason
