State Parks Debacle
Late last week, the Sacramento Bee broke the news that the Department of Parks and Recreation — the same department that state legislators want to absorb the highly efficient and boater-funded Department of Boating and Waterways — has been sitting on a $54 million surplus that dates back as far as 12 years. Despite the…
Kiwis Launch First AC72
Now just a year away, ‘the big show’ — America’s Cup 34 — will be raced in San Francisco Bay on the most radical boats ever used in Cup combat. And the first one of them has just come out of the box: Emirates Team New Zealand launched their first AC72 wingsail catamaran in Auckland’s…
$2k+Used Engine=Cruising Boat
“I’m almost free,” exults Justin Jenkins on the bow of Ichiban. It may be incongruous to have a boat with a Japanese name and Jamaican colors for trim, but why not be different? latitude/Richard©2012 Latitude 38 Media, LLC It’s tough being young these days. Jobs are hard to find. Good paying jobs are as rare…
Triple Stars Recovered
Last November, the formerly Sausalito-based Island Packet 380 Triple Stars was abandoned by Rob Anderson during the North American Rally to the Caribbean (NARC) after his wife Jan, 59, was swept overboard when a massive wave broke on the boat. (He later recounted the events of November 11 in a Cruising World article.) Left adrift,…
L’Hydroptere Poised to Pounce
Sailing and flying are normally considered to be two totally different modes of travel, but not in the case of the revolutionary l’Hydroptere DCNS, which is currently poised to challenge the L.A. to Honolulu speed record. The picture says it all: This boat can fly. © 2012 Francis Demange / l’Hydroptere Regarded as the fastest…
Fill ‘Er Up Please
With the money you’ll save on diesel, you can buy matching shades for your entire crew. latitude/Richard© Latitude 38 Media, LLC Do you think that diesel fuel for cruising boats has to be expensive? "Not so," says two-year-old Maya, the blue-shirted ringleader of the young Bagheera gang aboard the Montreal-based 72-ft schooner Bagheera. "Not if…
SHTP Finishes Up
With the arrival of Randy Leasure’s Westsail 32 Tortuga, the 18th Singlehanded TransPac has come to a close. The deadline for the race is this Saturday, but all boats — with the exception of Derk Wolmuth’s Vindo 40 Bela Bartok (more on that in a moment) — were in and swaying in the warm…
Business Classies Rock!
"Just FYI, my little bitty Business Ad got me work from ORACLE RACING. That’s right! The guys from OR saw my ad in Latitude 38 when they were here in the Bay Area a few months ago, and they asked for some help with boat lettering for their AC45s. They were great to work for…
Make Friends with Tax-Free Liquor
After crossing 3,000 miles of open ocean en route to French Polynesia, it’s only natural that sailors would want to get together and socialize. But as one South Pacific cruiser pointed out, “The trouble is, with all those cruiser get-togethers, you can go through your entire stash of beer, wine and liquor in short order.”…
Singlehanded Fleet Finishing Up
After Bela Bartok‘s unfortunate abandonment early yesterday morning, 22 boats remain in the Singlehanded TransPac fleet, the last five of which will be finishing the race in the next two days. After Turbo Camper and Green Buffalo swept into lush Hanalei Bay on Friday, the bulk of the racers decided the Race Committee — including…
