| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs 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!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

It really depends on the conditions. Upwind you will be in the 5.5-6 knot range. Off the wind, under 15 knots of wind you will be in the 6-8 knot range. When we sailed the PacCup last year we were surfing in the 10-12 knot range for many hours. I have done the Coastal Cup and surfed the boat in the low 20 knot range....also done the return from Molokai surfing down waves in the low 20's. That is when the fun factor is pegged high!
Let me know if you have any further questions. Can't go wrong picking up one of these boats if you can find one for sale.
Cheers, Jason
