Yacht Race from Los Angeles to Honolulu

Mixed Fortunes in the Now-Complete Transpac

The rest of the competitors in the 51st Transpac Race from Los Angeles to Honolulu have finished, but one boat was not so lucky.

Changing Plans

Aussie Rower Launches Second Attempt at Ocean Crossing

After spending a month in Monterey conducting repairs, restocking, and reevaluating his journey, Jason is planning to set out again this week.

Master Mariners Regatta

The 2021 Master Mariners Regatta on Saturday, May 29, may have been the most-photographed event on San Francisco Bay in the past year and a half. Heck, there were probably more photographers out there than boats racing!

2021 Transpac Preview

I've been thinking of the goal of sailing to and cruising around the Channel Islands for about a year now. I've read books on it, talked to other sailors about it, and done preparatory sails. I looked for the right time and made sure (I thought) I had enough of it.

Racing Sheet

We share firsthand reports on California Offshore Race Week, the OYRA Duxship and OYRA (Faux) Farallones. We sail with the Delta Ditch Run and visit PICYA's Lipton Cup. Two reports about ocean races out of L.A. (Cat Harbor & Return and the First One Hundred) follow. We've got Box Scores and Race Notes in here too.

Changes In Latitudes

With reports this month from Selavi on the deal that almost fell through (but didn't!); Thisldu on COVID-rearranged cruising plans; and Little Wing's participation in the Tahiti Pearl Regatta. Also, currently boatless cruisers Greg and Debbie report on renewed cruising in the Med, followed by a locker full of Cruise Notes.
