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!!

Wouldn't an Ultimate Antrim 27 be a better 'new boat' choice, available sooner, and cost a bit less?

I'm not trolling, just wondering if there are other boats in that 26-30 foot and $50-60,000 range that should be considered. While the E27 is a dandy boat - and very reasonable at $15-20,000 for a good used one - time, design, and technology have not stood still since the mid 1980s.

What would you (directed at anyone who cares to repond) choose?
