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!!

Subject: I FOUND THE KVH REPAIR SOURCE!!!
Info: (14661 views) Posted: Saturday 8-26-06 07:39:28 AM
Not sure I'm comfortable with a place that charges you before they even see the unit. And from what I gather, the "flat fee" that they refer to is $800!! Click on "Buy Now" at the bottom of the site...

Most Brain Boxes can be fixed by replacing the fuses and reseting the unit, which only requires disconnecting the lithium battery, jumping the two jumper post, powering it on for a minute or so. Then power off, remove the jumpers and re-solder the battery. Just did this on mine and it's working fine again.
