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!!

Pete, I am in lockdown like most os america. Lost my job, company etc. nothing special there. The #4 project is on hold, I did see some candidates at Bacon Sails. I have enjoyed using my new electric outboard lately. doesn't solve all the issues of the outboard but most. Love having remote throttle in the cockpit, reverse etc. Docking made easy. Bill

:: :: :: :: I may be able to help you on this. I used to sail an E22
:: :: :: :: and held on to a bunch of good, older sails. This hank
:: :: :: :: on blade is about 10% smaller than our #3's. I have used
:: :: :: :: one on my Express and it fits without any type of

:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: If you know someone who owns an Etchells you can
