The Fold, Truck and Sail Plan
As we often point out, you don’t need a million-dollar yacht to access the much-envied lifestyle of international cruising. As witnessed during the recent Baja Ha-Ha rally from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas, just about any boat built and equipped for offshore sailing can take you to the same idyllic anchorages. This year’s fleet…
Help ID This Old Woodie
We receive a surprising number of requests for help in identifying various boats. Between the collective experience of the staff and the wonder that is Google, we can usually come up with an accurate ID but sometimes we’re presented with a real challenge, such as this one from Brian Carl. Brian Carl hopes readers will know…

Post-Ha-Ha Cruising
"Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, is it ever great to be back in Mexico!" That’s all we and a lot of Mexico cruising vets have been saying in the last week as we moved on following the end of the Baja Ha-Ha rally. Having left the States, most of us are experiencing an overwhelming sense of relaxation…

Her husband…
Blackaller Buoy Comes Home
YRA buoys are known for going on walkabout, so it wasn’t a surprise when the Blackaller buoy left its station last week. What was surprising was that one of the Bay’s most heavily used racing buoys was ultimately recovered! Matt Jones sent us the story. "The latest trip ended at Ocean Beach where it was…
Yacht Racing Image of the Year
San Francisco Bay has long been known as a top spot to capture fantastic sailing photographs, attracting some of the most famous photographers in the world since George Eastman invented roll film. Two such photos are now competing for your vote in the World Yacht Racing Forum’s ‘Yacht Racing Image of the Year‘ contest. Now…
AC World Series Starts Tomorrow
The AC 45s are on their moorings, and the America’s Cup World Series is preparing for its North American debut tomorrow in San Diego. First up is the Port Cities Challenge, which is more of a promotional event that will see the teams be allied with various facets of government from the cities that front…
Right Hat for the Job
Gary adapted easily to the stress-free life in Tonga’s archipelagos. Not only do his bushy beard and pipe fit the laidback cruiser image, but his cap is definitely apropos. Lardo© Latitude 38 Media, LLC You might say the next best thing to going cruising on your own boat is having good friends who will invite…
A Kiss Ain’t Just a Kiss
This year’s most sensational smoochers were Bill and ShantiAna Bartlett of the Alameda-based Columbia 39 ShantiAna. latitude/Andy© Latitude 38 Media, LLC Each year, the Baja Ha-Ha rally’s Cabo San Lucas beach party ends with a guaranteed crowd-pleaser: the notorious From Here to Eternity kissing contest. The idea is to reenact the steamy — and once…
