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!!

I am going to upgrade to adjustable genoa leads. I boujght the Lewmar ocean size 0 system (because it was way cheaper than the harken) but the track only comes in 7 ft lengths. The stock T track is around 8ft. I orginally wanted to have a single curved track so I was sure to be able to trim all my old sails. I have a #1, #2, class jib, and a #4. Since it is looking as though I am going to have to go to a split track on each side I need to know where the #4 trims to? I have only used the sail a few times and can;t remember how far back I moved the lead from the #3 position. Any one have any idea?
