| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs 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!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

The Ballenger method of attaching the in-line lowers to the intermediate chain plates works fine. In my opinion, it's not necessary to install a separate chain plate for the in line lower. A drawing from Ballenger for the installation is posted on the "Deck Layout and Rigging" Gallery in the photo section of the website.
I would like to have an easily adjustable aft lower set-up as Ed describes. However, for one design class racing it's not legal to adjust the aft lowers during a race. Being able to adjust the aft lowers would be a big advantage for PHRF because the aft lowers limit how far you can rock the mast forward.
