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!!

Cracks in the stanchion pockets can be easily repaired from the inside of the boat by sanding the area around the crack and epoxying a small piece of fiberglass cloth over the crack.

When you store the boat for the winter (outside) you should cork the stanchion holes (after making sure there's no water in them), or even fill them with anti-freeze and cork them. Otherwise water can freeze in the holes and crack the stanchion pockets. It's a common but not a serious problem in cold weather areas of the country.
