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!!

Sergey, We can add it as one of the agenda items for the annual meeting. The J/105 is a very different boat than the e27 and sails very differently. There were reasons the weight limit is as it is. Let's look at the history before we attempt to motion for a change.

:: Peggy,
::
:: I would like to put this motion for the national's fleet
:: meeting agenda. This is the modified for the express27
:: weight limit J105 fleet rule which is much more flexible
:: and should meet everyone needs.
:: 

:: -------------------------------------------------
::
:: The maximum crew weight (in swimming apparel) for
:: one-design racing is 880 with

:: no limit on numbers of crew. An Owner who is the sole
:: Driver for a regatta may elect a weight of 100 kg (220
:: lbs.) for that regatta, in which case he or she shall
:: not be subject to weigh-in or other weight check. If the
:: sailing instructions require a weigh-in prior to the
:: start of a regatta, a boat complying with the weight
:: restrictions at weigh-in shall not otherwise be subject
:: to a weigh-in during or after the regatta, except for
:: weighing substitute crew.
