| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs 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!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

| Author: Ralph Deeds Subject: Express 27's in South Carolina? Info: (12095 views) Posted: Saturday 1-14-12 07:51:07 AM |
:: I didn't realize South Carolina had an Express 27 fleet.
::
:: Just fyi, the boat doesn't sail to it's PHRF rating in
:: light air (a Moore 24 can sail downwind as well in light
:: air, and their rating is much better).
::
:: If you plan to race the boat (why would anyone want an
:: Express 27 if you didn't), and If there isn't a class,
:: you may want a different boat.
::
:: Just sayin'...
Outside of San Francisco where the winds are lighter E27 PHRF ratings are considerably higher. We do pretty well in Detroit compared to most other boats with our 138 PHRF rating. I don't know what the rating would be in South Carolina, but I suspect it would be higher than in San Francisco.
