| 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)" |

:: Mast seems to be in good shape. Boat was
:: sailable/raceable until it was involved in an accident
:: on the highway (not on this trailer). Other gear exists
:: but is in storage and I don't have convenient access. I
:: am not the owner but it is sitting on my trailer which I
:: need for other purposes.

:: Here are some shots of the hull/keel/rudder.

:: :: :: There is an E27 in the North Texas area that had an

:: :: ::
:: :: :: Question: With the continued popularity of the E27,
:: :: :: especially on the West Coast, would it be worth bringing
:: :: :: this one back from the dead? Are there folks out west
:: :: :: (or anywhere) that would be interested? I'd just hate to
:: :: :: see an E27 get the business end of a sawsall.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: If no takers for the project, any interest in parts?
:: :: :: Rigging? Foils?
