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!!

Hi Jonathan,

Not sure if you realize that that posting was a year old and the boat has since sold. It is not terrible clear when you look at the forum.

With this said, and while valid questions regarding sails and electronics, you should realize that generally there is very little negotiation when it comes to buying an Express from my experience. There are definitely opportunities out there but it is a really tight market when it comes to the Express 27 and as such, you will have need to decide how much you are willing to invest.

I can say from having bought one last year that I have needed to do a number of maintenance items as well as upgrades and sails on my boat. It is an awesome boat but generally you have to be willing to pay to play.

Jason
