| 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)" |

By pure coincidence, I was walking around a marina in Redwood City (Southern portion of the Bay) yesterday and saw Last Dance tied up to a dock there. As you said, the bow sprit is mounted through a hole in the stem. The boat is also outfitted with a roller furling jib, portholes in the transom (like on the E37), and a Texas flag.
Cheers
Dan

>>There are two boats in the photo gallery with sprits: #s 49 and 50. My comment above applies to #50 not #49. It has (or had) a permanent sprit that retracts through a hole directly under the stem of the boat. Sorry for the mix-up. I have a picture of the sprit on #50 Last Dance in case anybody's interested. (Not recommended!) The picture is a close up of the sprit from the outside. I think that boat is also in the SF Bay area. It was in Galveston.
