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!!

Subject: Re: halyard replacement
Info: (27202 views) Posted: Saturday 1-12-02 01:09:00 PM
Replaced all of my halyards on #49 this summer and used Spectra T900 and pleased with the results. No creep and very light. Both Jib halyards were 65' each but easy to measure your own. I always buy a little long to be sure. Used the same on the main halyard also. I understand some boats may be going to Spectra for teh backstay but didn't do so myself.

>>I have to replace the jib halyard on Hull #111 this year. Any suggestions on material, brand or size? What are people using? What works? What doesn't? Also, what shackles work best? The one on the halyard now requires high efforts to release and I am thinking of replacing it as well. Suggestions?
