| 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)" |

is legal. I like the webbing idea. I now have the padded
life line at the rear and can see doing what you did,
Bob, and then replace the padded line with webbing
when it wears out. The padded line is really
comfortable. I sailed my Santana 22 several years
without any life lines. There were times when the wind
shut off that I was digging my nails into the glass to stay
on. It would be most embarassing for the helmsman to
go swimming. You better be nice to your crew or they
may just forget to retrieve you.
