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: Shaer PPin & Mainsheet
Info: (11478 views) Posted: Tuesday 4-10-07 05:18:08 PM
I got shear pins from Svendsens in Alameda a while ago. I keep a spare taped to the bottom of the nav table after a long delivery when the motor would run but not turn the prop. Be sure to put the motor away under the deck in neutral so the prop dosen't bang on somthing and can't spin. For the mainsheet I get used rope or some roll end from Hansen Rigging. They are usually already softened up and the cover is a bit roughed up for grip. You should stop by his shop as he has the largest selection of reall cool ropes I have seen. Will

:: Anyone have:

:: 1. Correct shear pin size for our Tohatsu 3.5 outboard?
:: and

:: 2. Line recommendation for a new mainsheet - we want
:: something 'grippy' right out of the box that doesn't
:: hockle, runs well, and comes in solid colors. We like
:: 7/16" (11mm) diameter. Recommemdations so far are Salsa,
:: Conception and Samson XLS.

:: Thanks,

:: Looking forward to some racing soon.
