Don’t Ditch the Ditch Run
Sure, the forecast is calling for a 70% chance of rain tomorrow. And, sure, the wind is supposed to reach a whopping 10 knots — from the SE, no less. But those are lousy reasons to miss the 21st Annual Delta Ditch Run, a 67-mile normally downind run from Richmond YC to Stockton Sailing Club.…
Special ‘Lectronic: A Cup News
If you’ve been planning on playing hookey anytime in the near future, you might want to save it for next week. Oracle Racing will have two AC45s on the water here starting next Monday. After some practice time through June 10, they’ll be used to test the regatta operations and media side of the event…
Sailing Into the Zen Zone
The Oakland Estuary is the first ‘Zen Zone’. It’s actually a wonderful place to sail, as the water is always flat and it’s often warm on the downwind sail home. And for those willing to look, there is certain industrial ‘beauty’ to it. latitude/Richard© Latitude 38 Media, LLC Auuuuuummmmmm. Those of you who read the…
Last Call for Heroes
We’ve received lots of well-deserved nominations for local ‘unsung heroes’ since we recently put out a call (here and in Latitude 38 magazine) for nominations. If you’re unclear on the concept, let us clarify that we’re interested in spotlighting sailors who quietly make a difference in our sport with little or no recognition — folks…
Hannig Cup Gets Celeb Guest
The Bay has some of the most productive charity events on the West Coast, not the least of which is the Sequoia YC’s Hannig Cup. Named in honor of its biggest booster, club member Ted Hannig, the event started when its namesake was offered a "milestone birthday" party by fellow club members five years years…
AC 45s Coming to the Bay
As recently as a few months ago, it was looking like the Bay Area would miss the the spectacle of the AC 45s altogether. Given a schedule that saw no official activity on the Bay until August of next year — coinciding with the arrival of the AC 72s — it seemed as if the…
Here Come the Woodies!
Whether you’ve got a ride for the big event or are simply observing from the sidelines, the Regatta is an eyeful of nautical history. latitude/Andy© Latitude 38 Media, LLC Wondering what to do on Memorial Day weekend? In addition to remembering our fallen American heroes — and reading the hot-off-the-press June edition of Latitude 38…
Angel Island Moorings Rebuilt
In the March 7 ‘Lectronic Latitude, we reported that a couple of moorings at Angel Island’s Ayala Cove had gone walkabout — thankfully with no boats attached to them — and that boaters should be cautious when planning an overnight stay. But last week, Rick Hastie, who heads up the maintenance on the moorings, docks…
Last Chance for a Ride on the Eagle
Her offshore sailing career began when she took first place in the ’78 Whitbread ‘Round the World Race. For two decades afterward she sailed the world educating would-be voyagers. © 2011 OCC School of Sailing & Seamanship Rumors have been circulating all year that the famous warhorse-turned-sail-training-vessel Alaska Eagle may be sold after completing her…
Cost of Cruising – First Responders
In May 20’s ‘Lectronic, we reported that Allen and Kate Barry, who have been cruising their San Francisco-based DownEast 38 Mendocino Queen all over the world for most of the last 18 years, are currently retired and cruising comfortably on just $1,500 a month in the Caribbean. So we asked other cruisers how much money…
