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 would like to see what the latest regs are for offshore. I am considering the DH Lightship. L2

:: Hi - Is anyone doing the DH Lightship? The NOR came out
:: last weekend and they reference the new Norcal ORC
:: Minimum Offshore Requirements as required in order to
:: race.
::
:: Are people doing this race and planning to be 100% up to
:: scratch or are people not doing this race due to the new
:: requirements?
::
:: Of particular challenge to us in order to comply on such
:: short notice are: 

:: - INTERNALLY operable manual bilge pump. Most e27's are in the cockpit. We like the idea of moving it forward to get weight out of the stern but not much time to make this happen. 
:: - 18in lifelines (standard for e27's is 12) - We were thinking that if the crew were always clipped in then this requirement would not be req'd
:: - Masthead VHF (we propose 2 handhelds w/one of them continuously monitoring 16)
:: - 11.5 in Radar reflector (pretty large for such a small boat)
:: - GPS Receiver (assume a Handheld GPS will suffice but need to confirm).
::
:: Keen for thoughts -

:: MK
