On Saturday, July 16, 32 boats in the Yacht Racing Association’s Westpoint Regatta made a run to Redwood City. The race started east of Treasure Island, rounded Harding Rock as a windward mark, sailed past the west face of Alcatraz, under two bridges and on to a finish east of Redwood City. From there, boats either turned and burned for home or proceeded along to the party, this year at Westpoint Harbor instead of at Sequoia Yacht Club as in the past.

What has been your experience with marinas, facilities and bureaucracy within 'Latitude's West Coast borders, from Seattle, to Mexico, to the Hawaiian Islands?
There's a shortage of skilled workers for good careers in the maritime trades. Now expanded federal funding can help marine training centers gear up to fill the shortage.
