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!!

Regarding sail measurements--we have not been marking old spinnakers as "USED" for quite some time, as there hasn't been a problem in the fleet of anyone buying lots of new or specialty spinnakers. We could reinstate this practice if it becomes an issue.

Likewise, if ordering sails from a local reputable sailmaker, just remind them to ensure the sails are class legal and for them to refer to class rules or ask a fleet measurer if there are any questions.

Typically we only remeasure / re-weigh a boat if it has been modified or considerable work done on it. We can measure at request as well. At nationals, there are often spot checks for lifelines, minimum equipment, etc. The intent is to have everyone racing, so minor infractions are just brought to the attention of the owner.

If anyone has any questions about measurement, feel free to ask Will or Brendan.
