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!!

David:

To be honest, that price strikes me as high. A race-ready E27 generally goes for 12k - 14k. Add in the fact that you do not have a trailer, and it should be even less. Of course, in the end a boat is worth what someone will pay for it. But as a rule you cannot expect to recover all of the money put into a boat. I don't think any of us are in this sport because it is a sound financial investment :)
