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!!

See you in Monterey Nathan.

:: Two crew is indeed a lot more work.
::
:: As much as I'd like to join the other class boats,
:: missing out on the doublehanded practice
:: (equipment/procedures check) would probably be a mistake
:: leading into the Coastal Cup.
::
:: I don't see anything to prevent a double-handed crew in
:: MORA (unless the SI's will forbid it), but unfortunately
:: that division isn't allowed to use an autohelm, which
:: will be a big help in gybes.

::
:: :: Hi Nathan
:: ::
:: :: If you're planning a shake down for the coastal cup,
:: :: please consider sailing with at least three on Monterery
:: :: for MORA crewed qualification, knowing four crew is
:: :: ideal four coastal cup.
:: ::
:: :: Then again, if you really want to go with two, you''re
:: :: doing something I have absolutely no interst in because
:: :: two crew is way too much work and cudo's to yuu.
:: ::
:: :: If your really having trailor problems contract me at my
:: :: e-mail directly.
:: ::
:: :: At this time Desperado on Tule Fog is overbooked with
:: :: crew and I can refer you to at least two others.
:: ::
:: :: Mike :
:: ::
:: :: :: The intent is to sail the race doublehanded as a
:: :: :: shakedown for the Coastal Cup.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: The main difficulty at the moment is the trailer
:: :: :: (scrambling to get Elise's ready after discovery of some
:: :: :: serious rust problems in a few of the verticals).
:: :: :: 
:: :: :: -Nathan
:: :: ::
:: :: :: :: :: Elise will be there (doublehanded).
:: :: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: :: :: What boats are planning on attending the Spinnaker Cup
:: :: :: :: :: :: this year? For some weird reason it did not get put on
:: :: :: :: :: :: the calendar. Can we get five boats to the line for?
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: Hi Nathan:
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: Are you planning to race in the doublehanded division?
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: Ideal crew is 3 - 4 for this race, can you swing one
:: :: :: :: more and race in MORA against other crewed boats?
:: :: :: ::
