| 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)" |

I've modified the primary V-berth board.
First, thru bolt the stiffiner under the aft side of the board. I used four bolts with fender washers on both sides w/lock nuts.
Then, lay your spinnaker polo down against that secured stiffiner
Next, mark four router marks, about 1/2 in length (enough foer the widtgh of a hose clamp) in parrallel with the pole across the board thwartships.
The idea in marking these holes, is for the hose clamps to go through the holes and around the pole picking up the stiffiner for support.
I've actually never valuidated the design. However, implemented it for use. I've seen similar on a Santa Cruix 27.
