| 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)" |

It breaks my heart to hear your story, personally, for you, and also the loss of another EX27 from the fleet. I can't imagine how bad I would feel if I were in your shoes. I just hope your home and family hasn't suffered as much . . .
I'd like to send you a shirt . . . gratis, just because. I designed them and am glad you liked it.
I hope the hull can be saved in some way. If not, I would be interested in sails since mine are pretty much toast, especially after these Nationals. I'm especially, interested in the carbon spinnaker pole. Can't use it for One-Design but I could use it for PHRF races.
Is the mast trashed, too?
You can email me direct at:

Again, my heartfelt sympathies for everyone down there. I don't even want to see the news about it - it sounds so terrible I can hardly believe it.
Most Sincerely Yours, Tibor Ipavic
KOLIBRI - Hull #117
