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!!

Thanks Paul, you beat me to the punch this morning, that was exactly what I was going to do to prove my point.

:: If you look at crew weight to sail area (main+jib), the
:: story is a little different.

:: - Moore 24 -- 3.34lbs per square foot
:: - Express 27 - 3.19lbs per square foot
:: - Olson 30 - 2.89lbs per square foot
:: - Antrim 27 - 2.04lbs per square foot
:: - Melges 24 - 2.03lbs per square foot

:: I tend to agree with Bob though, you can support almost
