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: Broken Tiller during 3/22 Mid-Winters
Info: (19156 views) Posted: Monday 3-22-04 12:58:34 PM
Great racing this past Saturday! With the first postponement, it looked like a long afternoon of drifting conditions but the "summer" wind pattern suddenly turned on during the first weather leg where we saw a steady 20 knots near Alcatraz!

Unfotunately our tiller cracked at the attachment point when I pushed down on the end to reattach the tiller extension during the race. This crack worsened as the first race progressed and we reluctantly retired prior to the second race.

Any suggestions for where to purchase a replacement tiller? Are aluminum, carbon fiber or other tillers made and class legal? Any recommendations?
