| 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)" |

Fortunately we mostly sail one-design out here therefore, we only have to sail per our class rules. I would try that approach with the guy. Your other alternative is to find 5 guys that want to buy boats and get them in contact with me. If you still have to race ORC then you can use a "D" shackle and attache the lifeline to the toe rail aft of the second stantion. Then run it back to the aft pulpit. The ORC rules probably require you to have a continuous life line from the aft pulpit to the forward pulpit. It most likely doesn't say how tight they have to be (unlike our class rules). So you can run them along the toe rail in the back so you can hike while driving and keep them loose enough so your crew can hike hard on the rail. Hope that helps.
Jason
