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!!

Subject: Floating jib leads
Info: (15124 views) Posted: Friday 4-18-14 02:25:39 PM
Don - I had some pictures of a few of the options so consolidated into a little presentation for you with some my thoughts.

Would be really interested to get other people's views as I may not be aware of other alternatives or all the pros/cons that are out there.

I am hoping we can get pictures / commentary on a number of systems (forestay fine tune, backstay, main sheet, trav, etc....), consolidate and share as a reference for people looking to make changes and for out of town boats who dont have alot of other examples to look at.

Hope this helps.
