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!!

Bob,

All the feedbakc that I have received from the Farr40 fleet was that he did a fantastic job. He is basically there for us and will do whatever we want. The Farr40 fleet did a bunch of start practices before doing some actual racing. This would be a great oppportunity for us as well to get better at starts before the Nationals.

My intentions are for it to count towards the season as well. We just need to make sure that enough boats are interested in doing the regatta so that it pays for itself.

Right now I have only heard from these boats:

Exocet - yes

Radio Flyer - yes

Baffett - yes

Swamp Donkey - out of town

Motorcycle Irene - maybe

Any other boats interested in it???
