| 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)" |

:: 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,
:: :: ::
:: :: :: Steve
Have you considered trying to sell the Melges rig, perhaps on the
Melges websight? That might help offset the cost of a new class rig.
