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!!

Mine are mounted very close to the widest part of the boat. It lines up with the 2nd screw from the front of of forward window. It's been there for ages and I doubt any science was applied to the positioning.

:: Getting the new boat ready for our first Wednesday
:: nighter and I'm wondering where the best place to put
:: the twings on the rail - just aft of the shrouds or
:: further back closer to the widepoint?
