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!!

I think they would only violate the rule if you purchased the NEMA portion of the instruments and connected a GPS and a computer. If you just use the speed and depth portion it is no different from the normal instruments that came with the boat except they are solar powered and wireless. That being said, I am all for changing the rules to keep up with the times. This is something that should be brought up at the next class meetting.
