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!!

Eric --

"Free at last, free at last....." :-)

Congratulations Eric! Not to worry, I too will be around to help you this year, as Dan mentions in a post nearby. Luckily for both of us, Dan, Paul, and Jason have pretty much put the schedule together for 2008. (thanks guys).

Also, I'd like to thank everybody who has helped out with fleet stuff over the last 3(?) years. Great folks + great boats = great fleet.

Cheers, Mark Lowry has-been poobah :-)

:: :: :: Folks,

:: :: :: Sorry for the delay in posting the survey results.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: For the class weight limit, there were 21 votes to keep
:: :: :: it at 880 and 5 votes to raise it. So we will keep it at
:: :: :: 880.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: For the LD/Fun series, there were 18 votes to use the
:: :: :: current scoring system and 1 vote for a low point
:: :: :: scoring system. So, the current scoring system will be
:: :: :: used for both series.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: For the LD/Fun weight limit, there were 18 votes to keep
:: :: :: it at 880 pounds, 6 votes for no weight limit, and 1
:: :: :: vote for a modified system which uses half of the
:: :: :: skipper's weight. So, we'll keep both series at 880.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: For Fleet Captain, Eric Deeds will take over from Mark.
:: :: :: To ease the transition, Mark will stay on for 2008 with
:: :: :: help from Eric, and Eric will take over in 2009.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: We are still finalizing the schedule for 2008, but it
