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!!

Agreed. Also it sets a very bad precedent. We all agreed at the last class mtg for the SFYC to host nats this year and they made it happen.... now a few months beforehand we tell the SFYC we changed our minds? Clubs in the future will be very hesitant to agree to host the e27 fleet if we do this now. Not good for the class. Makes it look like we dont have our $hit together.

:: Terrible idea x2! Our team and many other will not be
