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!!

See photo gallery for pictures of the interior of #107 which was built in 1986. V-berth cushions are not shown. They are in storage at home. Note interior wood first class: bruynzeel plywood bulkheads, galley and chart table; teak and holly cabin sole; and teak settees with handy storage underneath. The interior furniture is tabbed strongly to the hull and contributes to the hull's stiffness. The mast is supported solidly by the bulkhead and by an ash A-frame tabbed to the hull at the bottom. The port and starboard teak settees are comfortable for two people on each side and, as well, have convenient, ventilated storage compartments underneath. The pipe berths double as sail storage areas and comfortable berths for one person, port and starboard. Not shown is the storage area for the outboard motor under the cockpit behind the step cooler just forward of the companionway. The interior is attractive, functional, comfortable and contributes to the strength and stiffness of the boat.
