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!!

I am looking for some ideas about what to do with my lifelines. Specifically, from the rear post back. Right now I have a steel cable running from the bow, through both posts and down to the base of the stern pulpit. Along with that there is 1" webbing running from the toe rail through the rear post to the top of the stern pulpit. With this set up the lifeline interferes with the winch handle. Any other ideas? Is the stock/normal routing uncomfortable for the driver? I have noticed the that a lot of the san fran boats dead end the lifelines on the toe rail rearward of the rear post. Reasons?
