The Parade of Luxury Yachts
We’re at Latitude‘s cruising editor’s spring office aboard ‘ti Profligate at St. Barth in the Eastern Caribbean, where the busy youth sailing program starts at 7:30 a.m. every morning, where you can tell the cruise ships from the private motor yachts by the fact the cruise ships are the small ones, and where there’s a…
Ouch! That Had to Hurt
Doh! A boater trying to avoid paddleboarders at the entrance to Ballena Bay wound up high and dry last Saturday. © 2012 Nathaniel Penn It’s easy to assume from this photo that the powerboat pictured simply cut a corner last Saturday and ran up on this concrete pipe on the north side of the entrance…
Solo TransPac Comm Seminar
You don’t have to be racing to Hawaii this summer to attend Wednesday’s free ‘Communications’ seminar presented by Paul Elliott as part of the Singlehanded TransPac seminar series. Elliott has sailed in the last three Pacific Cups aboard his Sausalito-based Pacific Seacraft 44 Valis and will be once again acting as comm boat for this…
Cruisers at the Crossroads
Every year between February and May roughly 400 cruising boats from all over the world head west from Panama to French Polynesia. Some are in the early stages of a circumnavigation and some are in the latter stages, while others are setting off on a Pacific circuit where they’ll eventually circle back to homeports in…
My Boat Gets No Respect!
"I think the Hunter 54 might be the most maligned boat design ever," our old friend Warren Stryker of St. Thomas told us the other day. We became friends with Warren in the ’70s when we both owned Rhodes-designed full keel Bounty IIs in Sausalito. Thirty years ago Warren set sail for the U.S. Virgins…
Dolphins Rescued in Brazil
No experience is quite like hanging over the side of your boat as a pod of dolphin squirm and play and splash in your bow wake — the sheer joy they so clearly take in showing off can’t help but be contagious. For centuries mariners and landspeople alike have held the creatures in high esteem…
Latitude’s Free Online Crew List
More than 300 people mixed and mingled at Golden Gate YC on Wednesday evening during Latitude 38‘s annual Spring Crew List Party. More skippers than ever turned out looking for new crewmembers, and they found them in spades. "I’ve been racing on San Francisco Bay for more than 20 years and I’ve never been to…
Watch Out for Whales
"There’s a whale out there," exclaimed an attendee at Wednesday’s Spring Crew List Party. That was the first we’d heard of the mother grey and her calf that have been delighting the public with their presence for the last few days. Mary Jane Schramm of the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary noted that the…
NorCal Sailing News from the Carib
When we reported Monday on the results of the 32nd annual Heineken Regatta, we announced that Rick Wesslund of Tiburon had won his class with the J/120 El Ocaso. What we didn’t know at the time is that he also won the trophy for the ‘Most Worthy Performance Overall’. “This is our sixth year racing…
AC World Series Dates in Flux
Before you block vacation time or book flight reservations in order to watch the San Francisco edition of the America’s Cup World Series this summer, be aware that the tour dates are in a state of flux. Even on flat water, AC 45 fleet racing is an adrenal gland tickler, even for spectators. © Guilain…

Spring has sprung, along with our clocks and our docklines. Sailors have been making the most of the warmer, sunny weather and enjoying the spring breezes on the Bay.
