Sailing the Pacific Cup and Want To Be Featured in Latitude 38?
Over the past two months we have been working with the awesome team organizing the 2026 Pacific Cup to highlight some of the boats that will be racing from San Francisco to Hawaii in the summer.
It’s been really cool to get to know more about the stories of the sailors who will be embarking on this endeavor, from grizzled, competitive veterans with many crossings under their belts, to first-timers looking for an adventure, and everyone in between. We highlighted Pac Cup and Transpac veteran Don Jesberg’s program on VIVA (SFYC) to kick off the series.
Since then, we have highlighted Jib Martens’ aim to fulfill a lifelong dream aboard Freedom, Rob Reis’s team of first-timers aboard Recidivist, and the couple who will be doublehanding Rum Tug Tugger to Oahu. We’re hoping to highlight as many boats as we can, and we’re looking for an easier way to crowdsource profile responses. Instead of trying to coordinate between a bunch of schedules to find a time for a phone call, or chasing boat owners down via email, we’ve created a google form for boat owners to fill out with their responses.
If you’re a boat owner or a crew member racing to Hawaii in the 2026 Pacific Cup and want your and your team’s story told, please take a few minutes to fill in the form! If you know somebody who is racing and think they would want their story told, please send this article along to them. The form can be found here, and if you have any questions you can always reach out to me at [email protected].
