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: Trail-Rite out of business

I would totally agree Bill. If the class has the plans then folks could use a more local trailer manufacturer as well which would be awesome. That was one of the big things for me considering having Trail-rite build a trailer was having to drive from Hood River all the way Santa Ana (probably an 18-20 hr drive) and then having to pay CA sales tax on top of that LOL.
