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!!

We are now well on our way to being fully repaired. The fiber glass experts at Santa Cruz yachts are doing a beautiful job. We will be hard pressed to tell just where that port tacker hit soon! We are in the process of refinishing the interior and picking out the new nonskid deck color. I'm trying to be OK with the fact that several features will be nicer than what I have on my own boat....

You know you want it. Call me and you can pick out your own colors and hardware package for a truly custom boat! Will 510-508-7231
