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: What lakes have you sailed your e27 in?
Info: (25786 views) Posted: Saturday 3-11-06 01:54:05 PM
Hi all,

I was thinking of joining a friend of mine who is setting up some week-long water-skiing/boating junkets to various lakes around northern california and Lake Powell.

Obviously, using a ramp to launch an e27 is a lot harder than a ski-boat (I've always used a hoist) and I started wondering if there was a resource someplace that details how deep the ramps go at various lakes. I've seen a tongue extender used to launch a much bigger boat- a Soverel 33.

Have you ramp-launched an e27? Which Lake(s)? Did you need a tongue extender? Know of any ramp-guide or resource I could use?

Thanks, Bryan
