| 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)" |

Desperado is doing LightShip and doublehanded Farallones.
I don't have any problem with anyone bringing their ocean gear. Or shy kite.
In fact, might I add the question are boats fully compliant with all the safety gear? Its a lot of extra weight that can also add inequity reqardless of the safety requirement.
I have a sixth crew that wants to go on LightShip does anyone mind a little extra weight?

:: From my recollection at the '07 Nationals Skipper's
