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!!

:: For sale is Hull #10 express - Hotsheets.
::
:: This boat is in good shape and comes with the following
:: items.
::
:: 1. Sails - Main and Genoa are in good shape (7-8/10) 2
:: years old and supplied by Quantum - Will Paxton. The jib
:: is a Pineapple dacron and in good shape (7/10) .. used
:: maybe 20 times. The spinnaker is Pineapple and in good
:: shape (6/10). There are various other beer can sails but
:: would use them for practice or a Sunday sail. Overall
:: you can race and be competitive with the sails.

:: 2. Trailer - The trailer was rebuilt with the surge
:: tongue, brakes, lights, etc. Other than a coat of paint
:: on the steel and tires, everything else is one year old.

:: 3. Mast - The mast is black in colour and has high tech

:: has had the compasses removed and filled with
:: fiberglass. The instruments on the bulkhead have been
:: removed and repaired as well. The deck is ok to sail but
:: would need some finishing and nonskid paint. Fairly easy
:: to do if you have any experience with this. The hull is
:: solid with no soft spots.

:: 6. Motor - The motor is a yamaha 2 1/2 hp motor. It was
:: bought brand new and runs very well. There may be 100
