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!!

We race in the Hawaiian Islands and are home ported out of Lahaina on the island of Maui. We have two PHRF ratings. Racing in Oahu we rate 126 and are competitive because the average wind is strong and the fleet is large. There is very little wind in the waters off Lahaina, due to the mountain wind shadow. We have a small five boat fleet (J-80, J-24, E-5.9, etc. Here we rate 135 and are well matched for the fleet and wind. 135 is about the average of the different ratings in the PHRF book.
