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!!

Greetings I am retired and in the market for a new boat. Not into racing and 90% of the time will sail alone in and out of SF Bay. Would this boat be suitable for me. Since it is popular,Practical Sailor had a good write up and have not heard much in the negative would assume resale would have a ready market. Racing boats not usually set up to easily handle alone this may be one of them--and my concern. My limitation not the boats. Had the first Rhodes 19 on the bay in 1960,bought it at the show, no winches no fancy gear. Don't want /need a large boat but a comfortable one a joy to sail able to take what the Bay dishes out and not over powering on upkeep. Have a love affair with the Bird ;but, a woody--well I want to sail not work. Any suggestions recomendations much appreciated. Mahalo Bob
