| 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)" |

>>In the Express 27 website 'Photo Gallery', one of the last shots show a E-27, hull 49 with, what looks like an A chute mounted on a bowsprit, similar to a J-80. Was this a permanent mod or an experiment?

>>Bill, #49 was in Kansas when I bought it and it had a bow sprint mounted on the deck and did not affect the intergrity of the hull. I believe it was off a B29 or similar rig. It was set up on a track on the deck and could be extended by a set of lines and blocks when the asymetrical chute was hoisted.
I sail the boat out of Monterey and have removed the setup as it is not class legal. I still have all of the gear and asymetrical chute if you are interested.
