| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs 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!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

A Kevlar '4 wheel' tugem strap in the best price performance. Some have them and a version can be obtained at a good price at Sveendsons; $40 I think I personally use a 3/8th inch (3star) galvanized chain (although chain is not recommended for overhead lifting) . . . rated at 20K#'s at least . . . with 3/8th inch stanless shackles on both ends; the priceypart . . . and 11K#s vektran braces with carbiner hooks for the rail . . . remember always to hook carbiners to the boat 'gate up'. Its overkill and pricey at $140. I replace the Vectran ever couple of years.
