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: Safety Equipment for Chi-Mac
Info: (14315 views) Posted: Wednesday 1-14-15 02:19:48 PM
Hi Fleet - The Tequila Mockingbird is planning on racing in the Chicago-Mac 2 handed div this summer.

I was wondering if anyone had any of the following safety equipment we might borrow: 

- Spare tiller (not a spare rudder.... just the tiller)
- Portable Toilet (appears we cant just call a bucket a toilet)
- Storm Jib – Boats shall carry a storm jib made of suitable weight sail cloth, and
of area not greater than 5% height of the foretriangle squared, with luff maximum length 65% height of the foretriangle. This sail shall have means to attach the luff to the stay independent of any luff-groove device. Boats shall have sheeting positions on the deck for this sail.

Please let me know if you might be able to help us out!

Thanks, Matt
