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!!

Nat,

Welcome to the fleet! I would be glad to give you some numbers to set your boat up with. They really need to coordinate with the design of your main though. If I remember correctly, you should have North sails on your boat. There is a North tuning guide in the articles section of the website. I will also e-mail you my UK tuning guide.

Best thing to do is get time on the water learning the boat though. You will quickly learn if you have speed or point to keep up with the other boats.

Cheers, Jason
