We Can See Both Sides
On November 5, four days after leaving San Diego on what was to be a two-year circumnavigation, singlehander Dennis Howard was taken off his San Diego-based Flicka 20 Avalo by the crew of the 378-ft Coast Guard vessel Mellon, and his boat was left to drift. Howard has now filed a claim against the Coast…
Commission Okays AC EIR
The San Francisco Planning Commission adopted the environmental impact report for the 34th America’s Cup in a unanimous vote yesterday. With the Port Commission expected to also adopt the document today, that will leave only final ratification from the Board of Supervisors in January before construction on the piers can begin. However, it may not…
Help for Struggling Shoppers
Like it or not, a huge part of celebrating Christmas — as well as Hanukkah and Kwanzaa — revolves around gift giving. And for many shoppers the biggest challenge is to give something meaningful. In addition to the seemingly endless debate about the over-commercialization of the holiday season, many have strong opinions about whether or…
Who’s Sailed the Pacific Northwest?
We’ve sailed in Pacific Northwest waters enough to know that they comprise one of most beautiful cruising grounds in the world. With mazes of forested islands, sheltered anchorages and picturesque waterside towns, the San Juan Islands, Gulf Islands and Desolation Sound region all score high marks as some of our favorite places for summer sailing…

Volvo Fleet Marches On
The six-boat fleet in the Volvo Ocean Race has already put in some heavy miles since starting Leg Two on Sunday. After an uncharacteristic stretch of light-air beating around the tip of the African continent, the fleet was met with some wild running through the wicked Agulhas current, which flows against the wind direction. Fortunately…
AC & Rigging Meetings Reminder
If you read Monday’s ‘Lectronic item about this week’s America’s Cup meetings within a couple hours of its being posted, you may not have caught the correct time for the first one. The original time for the meeting in Room 400 at City Hall on Thursday was noon but that was changed to 5 p.m.…
AC Meetings This Week

Free Rigging Seminar
You don’t have to be an entrant in next summer’s Singlehanded TransPac to attend the seminars offered by the Singlehanded Sailing Society in the months preceeding the 2,120-mile race from San Francisco Bay to Kauai. Topics are geared toward long-distance racers, but are applicable to any sailor, and since the talks are free, attending is…
Calamari Anyone?
For many sailors, one of the highlights of sailing south off the west coast of Baja is fishing in its abundant waters. Already this year, sailors have reported catching prime game fish such as wahoo as big as 65 inches long, without even using a rod and reel. One thing that’s been peculiar this year,…
