Crossing Tracks with the King Harbor Race

By Christine Weaver | August 3, 2018 | Channel Islands, CA |

Yacht racing is everywhere in California, both inshore and offshore. You never know when you might run into (we hope not literally) a regatta underway. Latitude 38 contributing editor John Riise was "out sailing last Friday, on our way back from Santa Cruz Island to Oxnard, and we barged through the Santa Barbara to King Harbor Race (81 miles around Anacapa Island)."

Left: Freedom, a Beneteau 550C owned by David Norman of Dana Point YC, was sailing in the Cruising Division. Right: Thomas Wilson’s Velocity was one of three Hobie 33s in the ULDB E Division.

"The view is looking WSW. The fleet was headed for Anacapa, just east of Santa Cruz Island." The course of the King Harbor Race takes Anacapa to port.

The Cal 40 Celebrity, sailed by Jerry Finnegan of KHYC, is seen here with Santa Cruz Island in the distance.

We’re planning to include top results from the 100-boat race in the September issue of Latitude 38. For more info, see www.sbyc.org/2018-sb-kh.
