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!!

Brendan,

Thanks

Dan

:: My Quantum sails (#1, main) have windows, and I'm very
:: happy with them. Saved me from smacking into someone on
:: the opposite tack last weekend (I'd been hit by the boom
:: and was a little dazed).
::
:: Two sail panels are simply replaced with the reinforced
:: clear plastic. You can see a picture of them at:
:: www.sfsail.com/E27sm.jpg. If you need a better picture,
:: let me know and I'll see if I can find one.
::
:: The windows are just in the right place, in my opinion.
:: There's also a small window high on the main to see the
:: trim of the jib or genoa. This is kind of cool, but
:: usually pretty hard to see through.
