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!!

Hi:

About the CYC midwinters . . . I actually like to sail in larger fleets . . . even if they're not e27's.

We can sail as a fleet within a fleet . . . and still get fleet trophies.

The last couple of years the CYC RC slipped us in with Wylie Cat 30's . . . because, apparently, some of the SF 30 fleet refuse to sail against both e27's and Wyluie 30's..

If we have 5 27's and there are 5 Wylie 30's . . . maybe we could team race as two fleets on fleet . . . just an idea . . . something different . . . the two designs are fairly equal in speed.
