Winner!

Yumi Wilson was reading through a copy of Latitude 38 when she came across a flyer saying ‘Your Lucky Day’. Yumi’s boyfriend Art Hartinger, who’s an avid sailor, grabbed his Latitude at either Encinal Yacht Club or South Beach Harbor, unknowingly picking up a copy with a winning flyer inside.

Yumi Wilson will now be sporting a new Latitude 38 hat this weekend at Island Yacht Club’s Women’s Sailing Seminar.

It’s a simple idea (think a low-key version of the Golden Ticket in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), but we’ve randomly snuck a few flyers into the mag, offering a select, lucky few a Latitude 38 hat — just send us a photo of you and the ‘Golden Ticket’ and share a sailing tale.  

Yumi — who is from Oakland and an associate professor at San Francisco State’s School of Journalism — has picked up sailing recently, having taken a course at Tradewinds Sailing Club. She’s participating in Island Yacht Club’s 25th annual all-women sailing course in Alameda this weekend.

And in a testament to how small the sailing world is, Tim Henry, our newest editor, had a few classes with Yumi while he was at SF State in the mid-2000s (we hope Yumi approves of how Tim edited this article). 

Keep an eye out for Art and Yumi sailing San Francisco Bay. Hat cords are recommended.

Puerto Rico has sustained a ‘direct hit’ by Hurricane Maria, now a Category 4 storm with winds up to 140 mph — and perhaps worse, unrelenting rain inundating the island, which had already sustained damage from Hurricane Irma.
