December Issue Makes the Rounds

We’re calling it the Local’s Issue (hyperlocal, to be more accurate). The December Latitude 38 has stories concentrated in the Bay Area, including International 110s in Inverness, a young person putting some love into an old Albin Vega 27 in Sausalito, a profile on the J/35 Jarlen, an update on Cheyenne (formerly PlayStation), a short profile of Santa Cruz native Jim Holms plastic-to-diesel machine, and a musing on the joys of sailing small boats in San Francisco from one of our ‘new correspondents’, Mr. Jack London.

And that’s just Sightings. We also bring you a recap of the 24th Baja Ha-Ha, ask the existential question: How much does a free boat cost (?), and bring you Part 2 of the Season Champions. Plus, Max Ebb, Changes, CharterRacing Sheet, and the Caption Contest winner in Loose Lips.

We hope you have as much fun reading the issue as we had putting it together. Look for it in your favorite haunts.
