August Issue Out Today

Over the years we’ve been told by many sailors that they are absolutely addicted to reading Latitude 38. If you count yourself among them you’re in luck because the August edition of the magazine is being distributed today in the Greater Bay Area, and is already readable or downloadable from the website. (Magazines will arrive at SoCal, Hawaii and Pacific Northwest distribution points in a few days.) See our complete distribution list here. 

What’s inside? In this issue you’ll find our usual broad-based mix of sailing news from the Bay Area and beyond, including features on the just-completed Transpac, a recap of last month’s Tahiti-Moorea Sailing Rendez-vous, a look at Beer Can racing in the Estuary, and one man’s exhaustive efforts to build the ideal performance cruising trimaran. 

Our Sightings section covers Lending Club 2‘s record run to Honolulu, the Treasure Island expansion controversy, the Transatlantic Race, Baja Ha-Ha and Delta Doo Dah updates, the launch of the original ‘peace boat’, and more. 

The Racing Sheet has reports on events all over the Bay Area as well as on Lake Tahoe, Max Ebb debates the arguments for cruising classes, World of Chartering looks at one-directional catamaran cruising, and Changes in Latitudes shares cruiser experiences from the South Pacific, Mexico, Europe, the Caribbean and elsewhere. 

So have a great weekend, and be sure to carve out an hour or two in order to spend some ‘quality time’ with our latest editorial effort.
