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)" |

I can't help you with a repair facility, but I towed my Express down to Long Beach and back twice on a single axle trailer without any problems. My tow vehicle is a Ford Ranger with a 4 liter V6 and it has no problems with power. The brakes on my trailer don't work (I expect this is the case with most of the trailers out there) and I don't have any problems just using the brakes on the truck.
Hope this helps
Dan
