| 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)" |

Congrats on all the fun you're having on "Harvey". I am thrilled that the boat has such a good home and "family".
Libra raced over 40 races in 2013 and went out non-racing many times as well. I don't know if we beat your record of 60, but obviously both boats have owners that love "Expressin'". Regardless of why the boat is sailed, it is a dream of a boat to sail on.
Fair winds and blue skies!

:: @Larry: you make a good point about how many times you
:: sailed the boat NOT in races. I really like that. The
:: E27 is such a pleasure to sail. Those that limit
:: themselves to sailing only in a race are missing a good
:: thing. Your boat is truly "living the good life".

:: :: :: :: You might check with those owners. It was my old boat,

:: :: :: :: :: Looking to buy an Express 27 from someone in the western

:: :: :: Buy #56, Discotek, from Echedye. If you are serious, buy
:: :: :: it NOW, e 27's are difficultto find. SDK
