Can We See Some ID, Please?

By Mitch | January 28, 2019 |

Latitude Nation — Can you ID this boat?

Any guesses . . . ?

Help Roger Krakow identify his Mystery 20. There have been many guesses but no matches. It measures 20-ft on deck and has a swing keel and an Odyssey sail.

Please either write us below, or email us here. And please be sure to include your Boat Name, Make and Port of Call.

    Definitely a Balboa 20. (Lyle Hess design.)

    I used to have hull # 247, now owned by my son and named “Sailing With Ambiguity”. Hull # 16 is hung off a buoy locally in Eld Inlet, Puget Sound (but unfortunately doesn’t appear to get used much).

      A later flush-deck version (same hull) is named “Ensenada 20”.

      A fine, curvy little boat. I’ll probably finish my sailing days with one of these.

'Lectronic Latitude: Monday, Jan 28
Shorthanded Pursuit Race
Not a Complete Fiasco
This year's Three Bridge Fiasco, sailed on San Francisco Bay on Saturday, January 26, was nowhere near the Fiasco it could have been. For instance, during last year's race a raging ebb sucked most boats out the Gate, and only four entries out of 317 starters were able to finish.
