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!!

Subject: Chainplate bolts
Info: (19620 views) Posted: Wednesday 8-6-08 01:10:20 PM
Just thought I would pass along that about two weeks ago I replaced all of the chainplate bolts on Witchy Woman #116. An easy job to complete, as I simply removed one bolt at a time from each chainplate and inserted the new bolt. Be WARNED, I think my chainplate bolts were original and every single one of them (6 per side) were bent, or severely corroded / rusted. Several of the nuts broke apart and simply sheared the bolt off. This is an easy repair / maintenance job with two people and I would suggest that every owner at the very least inspects a couple of the bolts on each side, cheap insurance in comparison to a new rig….
