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!!

Subject: 2010 Fun Series Weight Limit Soft Sounding
Info: (17013 views) Posted: Thursday 10-29-09 11:18:32 PM
I would vote to increase the weight limit to like 980 or 1000. I would not vote to allow the skipper's weight to be excluded from the count, in any manner. That makes no sense to me at all, Larry's attempt at explaining the math calculations notwithstanding.
