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'm looking for a project. please send me photos. TX, Rick

:: I have been slowly putting this project together for the
:: last few years, but too many other obligations are
:: preventing me from finishing her. For those of you not
:: familiar with this boat, the hull and deck were
:: constructed using the e27 hull mold some many years ago.
:: The boat was never finished and it sat in Ron Moore's
:: shop for 12 years before I got ahold of it. The cockpit
:: is 16' long and opens at the stern. The hull has about
:: 6" less freeboard than our regular e27's. The core on
:: the hull and the deck is mostly foam which results in a
:: much lighter boat. There is also lots of kevlar
:: reinforcement in the key spots.
::
:: The deck has been bonded to the hull and non skid has
:: been applied. The topsides have been primed but not
:: painted. A deck mounted bow sprit is set up though the
:: actual sprit needs a few more layers of carbon to be
:: ready to use. I purchased a carbon fiber Melges 24 mast
:: for the boat, and afixed a normal e27 keel to the boat.
:: I also have the boat sitting on a very road worthy dual
:: axle trailer. Lots of extra bits and pieces go with the
:: boat.
::
:: It is time for someone else to come in and finish this
:: great project. I am sure it is going to fly when it is
:: finished. The ideal Delta Ditch machine! I have over
:: $8,000 invested in this boat, but I will entertain all
:: offers if the interested party will actually finish the
:: boat.
::
:: E-mail me for pictures.
::
:: Cheers,

:: Jason
