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!!

Thanks to you and dr. wilson for the information. Very helpful. Would I use spinnaker type cordage for the aft lines and what's the preferred method for securing to the sling. -Joe

:: The grainger part number for the one I bought is 3KN81.
:: It is a yellow sling, 4 feet in length, and capable of
:: holding 6700 lbs. The cost in the catalog is $22.15.
::
:: Hope this helps.

:: :: I believe you can get them from Grainger as well. Svens
:: :: use to carry them but not sure if they still do. Just
:: :: make sure what you get is a solid loop and that it can
:: :: hold 4K lbs or more. I believe the yellow or green strap
:: :: are the correct sizes.

:: :: :: I still have the old style, steel cable lifting straps
