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!!

That is awesome that you are trailering to Banderas Bay. Any comments on how that trip is? Any problems in transit either direction? Sounds super fun!

:: Just completed our 2nd annual trailering trip to
:: Banderas Bay. This year I made a Gin Pole to raise &
:: lower the mast. Worked great! Pretty easy for 2 people,
:: might even be possible for 1 person with more careful
:: rigging of the stabilizing lines. I posted a couple of
:: photos in the Deck & Rigging gallery.
