Boat Hard Aground at Linda Mar

By Tim Henry | April 30, 2018 | Pacifica, CA |

We are just now getting reports of a sailboat that went aground at Linda Mar Beach in Pacifica this weekend. Four people reportedly sustained minor injuries when the 33-ft boat drifted into the beach on Saturday night and went hard aground (one woman was seven-months pregnant). The crew said they were having engine problems. The gaff-rigged vessel had a hailing port of Sparks, NV, and was reportedly headed for San Diego. We’re going to link to KTVU for the story, but if you have any information, please let us know.
