HMS Victory Found – No, Not That One
HMS Victory ‘5’ was the ‘Titanic of warships’ in her day.© John Batchelor / Odyssey Marine Exploration When we saw on the evening news that HMS Victory had been found, our first thought was “How could you lose a 185-ft LOD, square-rigged warship, especially one that’s in drydock?” But of course the joke was on…
Louis Vuitton Pacific Series is the Real Deal
Auckland and dueling IACC boats . . . pretty sweet combination. © 2009 Paul Todd If you haven’t been following the Louis Vuitton Pacific Series in Auckland, you’re missing some great match racing action and great viewing opportunities via the very sharp and easy-to-navigate website.

Jacques Says Jet Skis Are Not Firearms
We don’t like to be critical, but sometimes the information passed along on various sailing websites is ridiculous. For example, someone sent us a copy of some exchanges on one of Sailboatowners.com‘s bulletin boards, where a contributor expressed admiration for the attitude of French officials toward Jet Skis. According to this fellow: "When a yacht…
Nautical Themed Internet Scams
Internet scams have been around as long as the internet. Many are so ludicrous that you actually get a chuckle from reading the broken English begging you to send $10,000 in exchange for the $1 million you’ll receive shortly. Uh huh.

The first is the state’s Department of Boating and Waterways, which faces the most serious threat in its history. The second is the watchdog organization Recreational Boaters of California, which is leading the effort to save…
Swimming With the Giant Manta Rays
One of the magnificent manta rays at San Benedicto Island.

The largest specimen found had a wingspan of 25 feet and weighed close to 5,000 lbs.…
Three Bridge Fiasco
It took awhile, but when the breeze finally did come up, it was a picture-perfect day. © 2009 Erik Simonson With 364 entries, the Singlehanded Sailing Society’s Three Bridge Fiasco exceeded last year’s fleet by nearly half again as much, making it the biggest race on the West Coast — last year’s Newport to Ensenada…
