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!!

Hi Jason,

Yup that's me. Although good try in theory, it's not going to work. The geometry is not good for carrying the genoa. I am going to contact Buzz, but was hoping there might be some less expensive alternatives. Oh well, still like the boat, but want the one design configuration back. The restoration is great so it should be worth the trouble. Boat lives in Anacortes wa northwest.

:: Steve,

:: I take it you must be the new owner of hull #16. Where
:: is she located now? As for the mast, you are probably
:: going to only be able to find a mast through Buzz
:: Ballenger of Ballenger spars. They run about $6K now
:: with everything included.
::
:: Cheers,

:: Jason
::
:: :: Looking to acquire a replacement rig. Any information or
:: :: leads would be appreciated. I would like to return the
:: :: boat to one design configuration. Currently has a Melges
:: :: 24 rig.

:: :: Thanks in advance,
