| 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)" |

This is an easy race to administer because a short crew can be far more competitive. So easier to recruit for and fewer sandwiches.
Believe me crew will bid to sail on this one; get them to pay the entry, bring the sandwiches and sail the boat back.
My bet given the flood tide is that we'll get in by 6pm this year.
Any one can win this one over the 60 sum odd miles of the course.
End up ion the delta and go crusing for a few days back if the 9 - 11 hour motor sail over one day seems too much. Stops in Isleton and Benecia are always good choices.

:: 17 boats turned out for Ditch Run last year.
::
:: I never trailer back because its a 9 to 11 hour motor
:: sail back. And who wants to hassle with the hoist at SSC
:: after the race? I certainly don't, especially when the
:: parties already underway.
::
:: SSC has assigned me a berth for up to a month in prior
:: years for those who want to stay over in the Delta.
::
:: Easy to get crew home after the race; on ther RYC bus or
:: Amtrack which my crew has always preferred.
::
:: See you on the Ditch Run.
