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!!

:: What is the "class shape"? Is this described anywhere?

:: Thx, M.

Every sailmaker has their unique class kite shape. Class shape are full girth specified by rule measurment and primarily shouldered runners. These sails are ideal for windward-leward courses. Some are relatively flat across their head gores being more all purpose for apparent angles to 130 degrees. Other are fuller shapes up high for 160 to 180 degress down wind. .7 nylonn airex for sale is the Quantum design evoled from Paxton protoype effort. All current Quantum sails I know of are this design.
