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!!

Jason is right about the ratchet tie-down straps. I remember seeing a picture of a J24 that ended up on top of the car towing it after a panic stop. Rope may be okay for short hauls to winter storage, but it stretches and loosens up. The tie-down straps are available at Home Depot for a very reasonable price. IMO two are enough.
