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 Jerome I think what you are describing is the standard set up? Do you have something different? Some boats had a pivot set up for tabernackling under bridges. Please call or email me directly if you like 510-508-7231 Will Paxton (class measurer)

:: Hello,
::
:: Does anyone has photos of their mast base, on deck and
:: inside the base of the mast section?
::
:: Ballenger explains some sort of tubing (square tubing
:: about 2" x 2.5" with 1/8" wall) that is apparently
:: screwed onto the stainless plate and into which is the
:: section is simply in place with a bolt going through the
:: section. This allows a little play considering the base
:: of the mast always rocks a little.
::
:: I need photos to better understand the mod.
::
:: Thanks!
::
:: Jerome
