| 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)" |

Trail-Rite sells pads & supports. Pads are $21.40 each, the pipe for the pads are $27.00 each. And the keel support (channel, board, and carpet) is $46. They are in Southern California, very helpful and shipped the items promptly. They can be reached at 1-800-443-2304.
Triad Trailers will sell the screw-type poppet pads with carpet and locking nut for $42.00 each + shipping. They ship from Conneticut, so shipping might add up on these. I'm not exactly sure what modifications might be necessary to fit them to a Trail-rite trailer, but it seemed like they'd fit right in.
Triad makes beautiful new trailers for E27s--$2950.00 for a single axle (simplest model), $3490 - $5292 for double axle (simplest model up to super-fancy galvanized model). Shipping for a whole trailer is approx $900. They also have been very helpful and responsive.
Triad can be reached at [email protected] or 860-354-1146.
I'll be having Orlandi Trailers in San Jose do some work on the trailer. I've worked with them before and they do great work at a reasonable price with quick turnaround. They are somewhat knowledgeable about sailboat trailers.
