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!!

Pure economics. Labor is just too expensive in the states to produce a boat. Really that is almost true for anything these days. But in our case, it just costs too much for materials and labor to produce a boat. The cost of labor in New Zealand is much less which makes it a possible deal to make happen. The problem lately is the value of the US dollar is going through the toilet so it doesn't go as far as it did a few years ago when this was all started.

Until we can get a few people to ante up and order a few boats, people who want them are going to have to pry them out of the hands of the people who aren't sailing them. Send me an e-mail and I will gladly provide a list of boats and owners who are not out on the starting line.
