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!!

Hi Bill,

I guess these are fairly tough times for everyone. I apologize for the timing of this last message...just had a hard time believing that you could get a new #4 made anywhere in the world for $275 shipped... just the cost of the raw materials wholesale in the US would exceed $275 before any type of shipping, design, cutting, labor hours, etc.

I would think that currently there are issues with new sail orders coming out of Hong Kong Sailmakers Inc. Contracted delivery times most likely are 2 months out at this point...personally I am trying as hard as possible to NOT buy anything made in China...it is very difficult but IMHO worth the extra effort to support all goods made in the USA....from a $2 toothbrush to a $2,000 sail I am looking/researching ways to buy stuff that is made in the Good Old USA!

Stay Safe,

Pete
