West Marine Responds to Swivel Failure
In Friday’s ‘Lectronic Latitude, we shared John and Gilly Foy’s story of how the Kong anchor swivel on their 55-lb Delta anchor failed, causing their Alameda- and Banderas Bay-based Catalina 42 Destiny to drag. Luckily, they were able to set their secondary anchor before any damage occurred, but it scared the living daylights out of…
Vessella Takes Laser Masters NAs
Conditions at the 2009 Laser Masters North Americans weren’t as breezy as they were here in this photo of the 2007 Laser PCCs on the Bay, but it didn’t faze the Peninsula’s Peter Vessella (right). © 2009 Paul Kamen Counting two bullets, a second and nothing south of an eighth, Burlingame’s Peter Vessella took the…

Lake County D.A. in Deep Caca
Last Wednesday Lake County Deputy D.A. John Langan asked Judge J. Michael Byrne to delay the felony vehicular manslaughter trial of Bismarck Dinius, which was to start today.

Cruisers Hopeful About Landers’ Survival
For this year’s Pacific Puddle Jump fleet, the elation from having arrived safely in French Polynesia was dampened when one of their own went missing. As reported earlier, singlehander Billy Landers’ Islander 36 Emily Pearl was found May 4 sunk in near-shore waters along the coast of Nuku Hiva, one of the principal islands of…

No Dearth of Crew Listings
We hear the same complaint on a weekly basis: "It’s hard to find good, consistent crew." This always comes as somewhat of a surprise to us, considering there are no fewer than 172 people included on the Crew Available for Racing list on our website. Somewhere in that mix has got to be just the person you’re…
California Boaters Save DBW Again
DBW, our state Department of Boating and Waterways, has once again escaped the chopping block. You’ll recall that, as part of the latest budget proposal, legislators considered eliminating the DBW and tranferring all its functions to the Department of Parks and Recreation. This was, and is, little more than political pickpocketing — DBW uses no…
It’s Official
