| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
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)" |

The the trailer brakes are pretty straight forward and easy to replace. A do it yourself job. Most have surge brakes so be sure it works. I had Aquarius Boat works in Moss Landing replace my pads and when they did they cut of the old mounts and inserted adjusatable screw mounts. I think they are simply the same adjustable pads and stands the yards use adapted the the trailer. Works slick and easy to adjust how the boat sets on the trailer. Also easy to drop on pad at a time for sanding. This arrangement does need a stop on the turning screw as it will back off when towing. I am using rope right now but may replace with a set screw.
