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: last word on TackTicks

In the long thread, there was some confusion about my success with TackTick instruments. My experience is not with the wireless system, but rather with the sealed large-display units (SpeedMaster, RaceMaster, SailMaster). These units either have no wires at all (RaceMaster is compass-only) or have direct wires to the transducers (SpeedMaster, SailMaster). No wireless components; no integration possibilities.

They are expensive, but very, very bullet-proof.
