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!!

Papillon (most of the time)"

You might try Garhauer Marine. They have stantions in there catalog that look close.

:: The stanchions on my boat are in need of replacement -
:: two of them were bent, and none of the four really
:: matched each other anyway. Is the original stanchion
:: just a straight tube with some type of ring at the top
:: that just goes directly into the (interior) glassed-in
:: receptacle at the deck level? A couple of the stanchions
:: on my boat had a diagonal strut that went from the deck
:: to part way up the main piece. The diagonal strut didn't
:: seem to provide improved strength, as one tube was bent
:: at the upper attachment point for the strut.
::
:: If there is someone who wouldn't mind my looking at
:: their boat so that I could take some photos, I'd greatly
:: appreciate it. This coming weekend isn't good for me,
:: but perhaps next?
::
:: Thanks,

:: Maryann
