| 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)" |

Checking out the weather today for dbh'd LS, I can't imagine that Crewed LightShip will by any different. 15 to 20 WNW and that means fast fetch out and fast spinnaker reach back.
Way back when before there were a lot of boats to make up a fleet, e27s were meant to clean up on Olson 30's the Saint Ann in particular, SC 27's, Bloom County and Moore 24s in the ocean. Designed as a next generation MORA rocket ship resulting in MORA season wins. 1983 for sure because I was their on Light'n Up.
Crewed Light Ship is exactly what the e27 was deisgned for in terms of Gulf of the Farallons performance to the weather mark and surf / plane back.
Sign up with YRA for StFYC LightShip on 3/21. Event at StFYC following. This a great race for the quick up wind and fast down wind. And exactly what the boat was designed for.
Don't miss it and especially if you only race buoy . . . becuase you're missing out on exactly what the boat was designed for.
Mike
