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: The Weight Limit is 880 #
Info: (28177 views) Posted: Thursday 1-3-08 11:29:13 AM

Please can we drop this weight issue and leave it as 880lbs! Even if you change the weight to some other number someone will always be unhappy. If we remove the weight limit all together I feel it will destroy the class. Personally I like the 880lbs weight limit and do not want to see it changed it is the ideal weight for this boat.

Please let’s leave it alone!
