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!!

Hi Fred- Give Buzz Ballenger a call at Ballenger Spars, he manufactures the derlin bearings, and may even have some in stock. A year or so ago I replaced the top and bottom bearings on my boat and I think it was around 100-150 including shipping. Buzz is the best bet.

:: Greetings from S. Cal,
::
:: Infinity and Beyond is still making its way around the
:: marks down in Dana Point, but would like to see a little
:: more air than the normal 3-5 knots we have down here.
::
:: My question relates to rudder bearings. Quite a few
:: years ago there was a project to produce new delrin (?)
:: rudder bearings for the E27. As Infinity's rudder
:: bearings are showing there age, I was wondering if
:: anyone knows if a source for new bearings has been
:: located.
::
:: I would appreciate a response by email if possible, I
:: will be checking back here occasionally.

:: Have a great season in 2008
