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!!

From my recollection at the '07 Nationals Skipper's meeting, shykites would be OK for class races scheduled beyond Pt. Bonita, but that specialty kites like reachers would not. Few opinions were that it would lead to a cost prohibitive arms race. Those people wishing to use the specialty kites could still race under their regular PHRF. Is my recollection correct? Help me out here, guys! But yes, nothing as been added to the written rules yet.

:: Last year was the first time in the 8 years I've done
:: the doublehanded Farallones race that the class
:: disallowed shykites. It had always been agreed upon that
:: outside the gate we could sail with anything allowable
:: under PHRF, i.e. shykites, reachers, etc. This
:: arrangement was supposed to have been written into the
:: rules. I plan on going this year and ,would like to race
:: with the class and bring all my ocean equipment.
