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!!

Best place to start is in the Articles section of the website. The articles there will help you get the boat set up, you can fine tune to your conditions from there. There aren't any real numbers for adjusting the uppers or even the intermediates between racing, About all we do on a regular basis is adjust the aft lowers. trying to maintain just enough tension to keep overbend wrinkles to a min.

:: I just bought An express and was wondering how to setup
:: the mast tuning. I am use to a j/24 and we adjust per
:: wind conditions. Is the mast changed based on wind and
:: what are the numbers on a loose gauge ?
