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!!

Subject: Nationals in Detroit
Info: (22794 views) Posted: Friday 6-29-07 08:39:16 AM
Speaking of Nationals.... when if ever is the Class going to hold the Nationals with the Detroit fleet again. I know logistically it can be a pain to get the west coast boats back east, but I think having the Nationals back east does a couple of things; First it shows interest in the local fleet by Class authority, which should strengthen the local fleets. Second, it allows all of us Bay Area boats to sail somewhere new. Also it helps the smaller fleets to get excited and ramped up for more sailing, this a more active Class..... Just a thought.....

I would certainly take my boat back east. Anyone want to chime in fromt he Mid West???? Tom
