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, I haven't seen a Triad Express 27 trailer, but I know it's important to get the tongue weight right. I have a single axle Trailrite which has plenty of tongue weight. Also, tongue weight can be adjusted on my trailer by loosening some bolts and moving the axle fore or aft, if you can't doing it by moving the boat fore or aft. I'm not sure why moving the boat forward would be a problem so long as most of the keel remains over the keel support. But, as I said I haven't seen a Triad trailer.

Sorry you missed the Detroit Nood this year. We had some good racing and socializing. Hope you can get your trailer adjusted so that you can do it next year.
