Did You Know? Exploring the Pages of the ‘Latitude 38’ Website

Have you found all the resources available on the Latitude 38 website? The insane scale of the information on the internet means it’s easy to miss all we cover in West Coast sailing. Our stories follow West Coast sailors all over the world, including Isla San Francisco, San Francisco, San Diego, Long Beach and everywhere West Coast sailors sail. As we launch into 2025, we thought we’d highlight some of the main resources available on our website:

Youth Sailing — With summer on the horizon it’s a good time to look at all the youth sailing opportunities we have listed on our website and also in the 2025 sailing calendar.

Summer is coming and kids are going to want to go sailing. Find a program on our list.

Heading South — If you’re planning to head to Mexico and points beyond in the fall, there are stories and resources available for West Coast sailors on our Heading South page.

Current and Back Issues — Our “Magazine” page takes you to the current issue as well as in index of all issues going back to April 1977. There was a recent mention of the disastrous 1982 Doublehanded Farallones race. You could read the original story in a scanned (not beautiful) issue here. Scroll down to find all of our back issues here.

All issues from 1977 to January 2025 are available on the Latitude 38 website.

Working Waterfront — Critical to the success of sailing on the West Coast are the businesses serving the recreational marine market along the Working Waterfront. We collect stories, resources and job opportunities for those here.

Boat-In Dining — If you’re looking for a sail-in destination near the Bay Area waterfront, we have a fairly comprehensive list of opportunities here. Let us know if you have a suggestion or an update.

Calendar — It’s full of monthly events and races along with a link to our annual Northern California sailing calendar. There are lots of sailing events and activities on the West Coast. Find some fun here.

Charter Boats and Sailing Schools — A list of party boats, charter clubs, sailing schools and six-pack sailing charter boats can be found here.

West Coast Circumnavigators List – We have a list of every single West Coast sailor who’s ever lapped the planet, except those we’ve missed (though we suspect we haven’t missed many). See them all here.

Crew List — There are well over 2,000 boat owners and crew on our Crew List, creating opportunities for more people to sail more often. You can add your name to the list for cruising, racing or daysailing crew and skippers. See the Crew List here.

Resources — The resources page is a grab bag of stories, links and other things; we couldn’t figure out where else to put them. Explore the resources here.

Sailagram — A gallery of your sailing photos, published each month. View the galleries and add your photos here.

Good Jibes Podcast — A new episode of Good Jibes pops up on our website every Tuesday. You can hear over 170 episodes covering the hijinks and adventures of West Coast sailors on Good Jibes here.

Classy Classifieds — Last, but not least, is one of our favorite sections, the Classy Classifieds. Buy or sell a boat or boat gear, or find a job or a new recruit in our Classifieds here. There’s a nice little Bob Perry-designed 1986 Tashiba 31 that was just posted for $57,500.

Check out all the stories back to 1977.

OK, that’s more than enough. There’s lots more to explore, so dive in. The size of the website is vast, so if you find something that needs fixing or updating, let us know and we’ll do our best to repair it.

    I’m still sailing with crew I connected with on the Crew List over 10 years ago! It has been a great help to me!
