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!!

Subject: Keel bolt torque

Thanks Ralph, I am going to inspect them closely an maybe remove the lifting strap for inspection. There is no sign of movement an it could be just as easy to damage them with a slight over torque.

Very cool you have owned the boat since 1986. Must have been built in the same run as mine, 115.

:: Sorry, I don't have keel bolt torque specs. I bought
