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: Backstay eye straps
Info: (17846 views) Posted: Tuesday 4-21-15 12:36:55 PM
Can anyone tell me the eye straps that they are using on the transom below the cockpit drains so you can run the backstay line through the drains?

Based on the load it is all shear so I am looking at the Harken four hole eye strap.

If anyone is interested I have started posting pictures and one video with more coming on the rebuild I did this winter and some last Spring on #115. The boat is used for Single Handed Sailing and a Double Handed race when I have to. The rebuild was stiffing below, new rudder, stripped deck and simpler deck layout, inventory from Kame at Pineapple, and electronics package for my sailing with pilot. Info is on my sites blog: [email protected]

Last summer was a great learning season for me and Kincora, and this year I will be pouring on the miles. My buddy has a Olson 30 and we trek together both single handed and have a blast doing a lot of miles.

Thanks Carl
