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!!

Jason,

Thanks for taking time to comment. You make a strong arguement in favor of the E27 and that a new one is worthy of consideration if one is looking a 26-30ft, $50-70000 boat.

Re: another Schumacher design

11/19/2003 Alerion Express 28 One Design Fleet The first Alerion Express 28 One Design Fleet has been formed in San Francisco, with Kirk Smith as Fleet Captain. The starting base is 9 boats, and a number of One Design Races are planned, as well as several social activities.

The above is from the A/E28 website.

What sorts of comments might you have about this boat, viewed from the perspective of an E27 sailer?
