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: trailer sand blasting shop?
Info: (25447 views) Posted: Tuesday 9-1-09 08:23:28 PM
I just painted Ergo trailer this year and used a paint call rust shield, which I purchase, at a car paint store one that specialized in automotive paints. I will see how it holds up? Since them I have found another pain cal Por 15 which is supposed to be even better for painting over rusted metal parts. It’s about $150.00 a gallon.

:: I have seen a few trailers get sandblasted and then
:: repainted and they just rust again in a few years. Very
:: expensive process too. I have used this Rustoleum
:: Hammered paint that you can get at home depot and it is
:: easy and works great. You just knock off the big chunks
:: of rust and paint this stuff on with a brush. It
:: checmically bonds the rust and seals really well. I did
:: the trailer "Opus" (now "verve") lives on and I believe
:: that trailer is still in great shape. I probably did
:: that trailer about 8 years ago. Comes in a bunch of
:: different colors as well.
