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!!

Wow Gorge, M24 raced their at HR.

Nice to have a local connection.

There are photos on the site to help with rigging. And I'm sure some fleet members can offer photos.

Better yet, put yourself on a plane and travel here for some regatta.

I'd just advertise crew available, Resin Regatta for example, and hitch a ride. See all the top boats.

Many regattas to chose from.
