2 The Mariner - Issue 158 2016
Every month I drop a stack of Mariners at the Sherrif ’s station on Fiji Way overlooking the main channel
I always see the little jail that exists there and occasionally I’ve seen a couple of dudes in orange jump
suits. It strikes me funny that there’s this tiny little jail in our little town. I don’t really know anything
about it; how does one end up “doing time” there. If there’s a window, it doesn’t sound that bad.
My greatest fear about prison or jail are the social aspects, if you know what I mean. So, remove that
nightmare and locate the jail in my town, I almost want to get thrown in there. If they allow an internet
connection, I’m pretty sure I could publish The Mariner out of that place. I’d wear the orange get-up and
type away all day in peace.
Every once in a while a drunk person would get tossed in there and have to spend a weekend—boom,
free copy-editor. I’m sure I’d make friends with the sheriffs. I already know Deputy Dave who runs the
Challenges Foundation. He’d be nice to me—maybe extend my “lights-out” around deadline time. I
sounds fantastic.
I would lift weights, read, practice my jump shot, maybe nally learn another language. I might form
a gang of just me and if the other person wanted to join I would let him. I would stage an escape and then
come back before they knew I was gone. I’m not sure why I would do that, but it’s denitely part of myplan. I would also earn my GED and get a bad tattoo.
I need to nd out how to get sentenced to that little jail. No rent, no bills and a sweet waterside ofce?
I’m in. If it so happens I politely carjack you or take someone you know hostage—please know that it’s
only because I’m looking to get booked into what I imagine is the greatest little jail in the world—a full
rehabilitation is imminent!

According to the Channel 4 news and the
Palm Desrt Patch an accident at Dock 77
at 13650 Mindanao Way in Marina del Rey
ended in fatality after 64-year-old Romulo
Perez of Los Angeles, was backing up a 1999
Ford Expedition to a boat trailer when things
went terribly wrong. Perez reversed in what
authorties are calling an “unsafe speed” and ran
over Antonio Jalog Smith, 41, of Corona.
Smith, according to Assistant Los Angeles
County Coroner Chief Ed Winter, was killed
about 3:20 p.m. Saturday at the yard.
After hitting the man, the SUV continued going
backward and struck a Hyundai Genesis anda Dodge Charger, the CHP reported.
Anyone who witnessed what happened was
urged to call the investigating ofcer at the
CHP’s West Los Angeles Ofce at (310) 642-
3939 during regular business hours.
This past month a couple of outrigger canoe
paddlers discovered a a dead dog attached to
a shovel on Mother’s Beach in what appears to
be a deliberate and dispicable act of cruelty.
It’s surmised that someone stuck the shove
deep into the ground with the helpless dog
bound at the collor and when the tide rose, the
animal drowned.
Surpisingly the dog had ID tags so an
investigation should yield some sort of
information for this heinous criminal act.
The story is particularly disturbing for resident
and users of Marina del Rey who are shocked
that there could be a person so cold-blooded and
off-the-charts cruel walking around the area.
Anyone with information on the incident should
call the Sheriff’s Department at (310) 482-6000
Slutske said.
As Marina del Rey get further into its
redevelopment local boaters are beginning to
see the reality and consequences of it all. The
latest change on the landscape is the moving of
Regency Boats and Motors from their address
on Beach Ave that they have occupied for a
decade or more.
It’s a long story but Regency, who many boaters
rely on for outdrive and outboard motor repair,
found their situation suddenly up in the air and
scufing for a new location.
They are now not too far away at 922 W. Hyde
Park Blvd in Inglewood. It’s sad, for the time
being, they are not in the Marina, but Dan the
owner stresses they will still be making pickups
and deliveries in the neighborhood every day
and that they are every bit as connected as
they’ve always been.
The good news is Regency, that’s been around
for decades, is still serving the community as
they always have.

Ocean Conservation Society Celebrates SeaWorld’s DecisionRegarding Killer Whale Captivity
Local Marina del Rey Marine Biologist Dr.
Maddalena Bearzi, who conducts her marine mammal
studies in the Santa Monica Bay, is deeply invested
and concerned with the issue of wild animals being
held in captivity for the purposes of public showing
and entertainment. She recognizes the argument
organizations like SeaWorld make about the benets
of public awareness, but ultimately feels strongly that
in practice the animal’s suffering is not worth any
gain.
“I think it’s important for people living near the oceans to know that these
animals should not be kept in captivity,” she recently told The Mariner.
Here is an excerpt from a story she wrote for National Geographic that
outlines her perspective:
There is light at the end of the tunnel. As Tilikum, the captive killer whale
at the focus of the documentary Blacksh, is approaching death from an
untreatable drug-resistant lung infection, SeaWorld just announced it will
end all orca breeding.
No more orcas will be kept in any of their new parks around the world.
The remaining captive killer whales will be the last generation enclosed in
the tanks of SeaWorld facilities.
The entertainment enterprise is also phasing out its
killer whale theatrical shows at its three U.S. theme
parks in favor of other types of exhibits emphasizing
these animals’ natural behavior. As the cherry on
top, SeaWorld let the public know about “a new
partnership with the Humane Society of the United
States to protect our oceans and the animals that cal
them home”. The company stated that is “committing
to educating its more than 20 million annual visitors on
animal welfare and conservation issues through interpretative programs a
the parks and expanded advocacy for wild whales, seals, and other marine
creatures.”
This is not just good news; it’s a great step in the right direction for these
complex, cognitive and wide-ranging wild animals that should have neve
been kept imprisoned in the rst place. It is also a terric example of how
public pressure can induce real change when we truly care about an issue
This is something we all need to remember: we do have the power to
change things if we decide to use it.

he 2016 yachting season is ofcially open. Some of you
might know this because canons were exploding all over
the marina one particular weekend. There were also
hundreds of men and women walking around clad in blue
blazers, white pants and white shoes—dead giveaway.
On the one hand, the Opening Day ceremonies can be a somewhat tedious
exercise in redundancy—even those who love it most might reluctantly
admit that. Last year visiting politician Steve Napolitano, Senior Deputy
to Supervisor Knabe, summed it up when he took the podium and said
grinning: “This the only event I’ve ever been to where the entire audience
get’s introduced.”
It’s true—ofcers from visiting yacht clubs from all the surrounding
harbors descend, local dignitaries and ofcials show up and all of the
local yacht club’s hierarchy stand together and introduce/recognize one
another for two full days at six different events. And yes, that element
can be tedious and boring, but it can also be endearing. The enduring of
tradition and ceremony is laced with a certain beauty—an insistence that
some conventions must remain without the burden of what is modern.
And it would be unfair to describe Opening Day as a bunch of blue blazers
introducing themselves all weekend long—of course, it isn’t. Historically,
it’s a tradition originated on the East Coast where all that is boating shuts
down through the cold of winter but is revived by the soulful and absent
warmth that spring returns. Perhaps here on the West Coast, it doesn’t
carry quite the same gravity that comes with a real winter’s suffering,
but the sentiments prevail—community, a shared love of the water and
a respect for local and personal history.
Each club hosts the same invited guests. They feed and entertain them for
about an hour and change, then it’s onto the next club. While everyone
sits outside in plastic folding chairs, the club representatives speak of who
they are as a collective, what they have done for the past year and what
the future holds. They give awards to one another—some meaningful and
some silly. They poke fun at each other and they honor their dead. There
is much saluting and public reverence for country and all branches of
U.S. military.
This year the South Coast Corinthian YC, Marina del Rey’s oldest yacht
club, acknowledged it would be the last time an Opening Day ceremony
would take place in their long-standing quaint little clubhouse. While
Commodore Kelly Cantley-Kashima spoke optimistically about their
future and how they have been looked out for by L.A. County and
incoming leaseholders, it was a hard reminder that Marina del Rey is
being redone and change has arrived.
Del Rey Yacht Club and the California Yacht Club are the most established
and stand on rm ground going forward. The Santa Monica Windjammer
YC have updated their survival status in years past but didn’t speak of
it this time around. This time, they spoke of their blossoming junior
sailing program and successful community outreach efforts. They occupy
a big building in an incredible area of Marina del Rey overlooking the
main channel next to Burton Chace Park. Over the past year the county
run slips outside their door have undergone a full renovation and thei
Commodore spoke hopefully about someday occupying them with
member-owned boats.
On the other side of the marina, the Pacic Mariners Yacht Club, who
have also been vulnerable during the process of redevelopment, appea
very vital. Membership is up and word has it that they may well be in
good shape as far as a maintaining a lasting waterside residence. PMYC
has a reputation as a club that likes to tip back a cocktail and cut a rug
It’s probably true, but they also have a tight knit engaged membership
that keeps things energized. Commodore Kent Anderson in many ways
embodies the overall attitude of the club’s citizenry - an informal, wry, ye
traditional style. Most Commodore’s present their wives with a bouquet
of owers—Anderson handed his wife Kia a plant and said in his heavy
Swedish accent, “here, at least this will grow.” Then he gave her a bottle
of wine.
The last of the six clubs, Marina Venice Yacht Club, are admittedly
struggling to survive. They formally operated out of the City Club on
Admiralty Way in Marina del Rey but are now quasi-homeless, essentially
camping at Santa Monica Windjammers Yacht Club. They put on a casua
but charming presentation that radiated humility, aspiration and most of
all hope. Membership numbers are low but expectations are high as they
work to return to their former glory.
Now the blazers and lapel pins are back in the closet. The canons are
stored and the festive ags have been put away. Another Opening Day is
in the can, but rest assured this time next year, it will all happen again…
exactly the same way.
T

n last month’s Mariner, we promoted
a special night meeting of the Small
Craft Harbor Commission that was held
specically to put the immediate and
future needs of boaters on the record. The
ample sized faction of the community
turned out to speak their allotted three
minutes at the podium and let the political
powers know where they stood. All of the
speakers had an agenda to raise and protect but
the meeting was, overall, civil and productive.
Below are a handful of cherry-picked comments
made that evening [ed note; there has been
minor editing for space and clarity]:
Steve Curran – Owner Marina del Rey Yacht
Sales – Broker in MdR since 1969
I spoke to this organization last year about
the state of the boat industry and my concern
remains the same. Since that time I’ve met with
Staff and my landlord multiple times—despite
this I believe I’m closer to losing my place ofbusiness and have made no progress towards
a suitable alternative.
It has happened to the extent that the boating
community is being forced out—it has gone too
far. In the end, unless this decline is stopped,
it will hurt all aspects of this community. Ten
marine businesses have closed over the past few
years—more often, due to suitable space. Where
has the space gone? The Holiday Harbor/Ships
Store building remains closed—all but one of
the businesses that were there have closed—one
remains. The property now remains condemned
and allegedly irreparable. Some of the property
including that located at the boatyard and on the
corner of Bali and Admiralty Way, is or will be
used by county staff. My business may easily
become the next casualty. Marina del Rey Yacht
Sales currently has 20 slips and 10 dry storage
—we’re being asked to move to Fisherman’s
Village behind a gate with no display at all. How
do you sell a boat without showing it, without
touching it, without sailing it? How long will
my business exist without the ability to display
its products. Also, how important is selling boats
in this community? Boating usually starts with
the purchase of a boat. Boating and boats are the
cornerstone of this community. It is the catalyst
that makes Marina del Rey so special and it
must be adequately nurtured and preserved in
Marina del Rey today.
Elliot Zimmerman – Owner Bluewater
Sailing – ASA Certied Sailing School
There’s lots of competition for this space on
the water and on the land and as Mr. Curran
mentioned lots of pressure for us small
businesses. We’re employers and we bring
people into the marina from all over California
—my business brings people in from 38 different
states, as well as Europe, South America and
Asia to learn how to sail. As a small business
beyond facing the pressures of the facility itself,
we also face a lot of pressure from other entities
that want to operate in the Marina. There’s an
incredible amount of competition. And in fac
Marina del Rey has a depressed price for all of
our services compared to places like Newpor
Beach, San Francisco and other areas around
the country that provide these types of services
because there are so many options. We have
individuals who can put a Yelp page out there
and offer services that are essentially illega
because they are operating either out of lessee
spots that are not permitted by the Departmen
of Beaches and Harbors or they go to Burton
Chace Park where they pick up or drop off [as
a] commercial charter. This is what we face on
a regular basis. We know we’re not allowed to
touch those docks, but we’re constantly seeing
people coming and going off those docks
People who are out there using these services
—99 bucks for two-hours—it’s creating an
over-capacity for these types of services. And
since they’re not participating in the Beaches
and Harbors permitting process, it makes i
more and more difcult to do what we do well.
Nancy Marino – We Are Marina del Rey
We need some protocols for human powered
craft—kayaks and SUPs. We would like thi
commission, in fact, to draw up some guidelines
some rules. There are rules of the road for
other boats, but kayaks and paddleboarders
really have run amuck. [Things like] keep to
the edges of the harbor, fuel dock is not a res
stop, awareness of the physics of sailboats and
motorboats, which can’t turn on a dime or stop
I
A Community Gathers
Members of the boating community attend a special night meeting to let ofcials know what they’re thinking

instantly and help the renters get back to where
they rented their craft. We want to maintain
existing boating resources—no additional
private use of water areas. On the land we want
all remaining boating use parcels to be used
for boating use only and not transformed into
mixed use where boating is on the side or in
little pieces or upstairs…We need boating to
be active and be in the forefront for everyone
who comes into the marina whether or not theyare boaters.
Other comments brought forth that were of
interest had to do with the county making
information more easily accessible perhaps
through the development of an app or at the
very least a website that dealt specically with
boating issues rather than attempting to navigate
through the current very dense department of
Beaches and Harbors site. The same woman
who made this comment [Helen Hurly?] also
questioned the idea of erecting a watersideTrader Joes saying: “I love Trader Joes but
couldn’t it go on Washington instead and save
that precious land for boating opportunities?”
At the end of the meeting Commisioner
Lesser asked what next. He said the heard
some interesting ideas during the evening
and also some points that he wanted answers
for. For instance, one speaker asserted that by
the letter of the law sea-planes and othervehicles including SUPs are in fact illegal in
Marina del Rey.
“I’ve got a lot of questions about various
subjects that came up tonight,” Lesser said.
“For example, somebody said kayaks and SUPs
and rowing is illegal.”
Director of Beaches and harbors Gary Jones
replied: “That is correct—the county code, at
the moment, does not allow for those vesselsThat’s correct. Our response to that is we will be
preparing an ordinance change for that.”
Jones went on to suggest that the commission
review the comments and prioritize which ideas
should be looked at more closely.

Nothing beats a cool evening on the water. But there are important considerations in heading out to sea at night. We talked with Bill Graves, a Division
12 Qualications Examiner and operations expert, Coast Guard Auxiliary, Marina del Rey, about preparing for a night out at sea.
Q: What are the rst things to consider prior to night boating?
A: Remember, the night, like the sea itself, does deserve respect. Follow a few precautions, stick to areas you have traveled during the day, extend you
limits gradually as you learn and you will be richly rewarded with a new boating experience.
Precautions include a good knowledge of the area. A dark night is not a good time to “run into” new scenery! Stick with what you know. Also, no one
should be on deck without a otation device WITH an attached strobe light. Jack lines and a safety strap can keep everyone on board. Even on a calm
night, it can be very hard to nd a small face oating in the water. On a pitch black night with good swells running and no strobe light, a person falling
overboard will likely die!
Keep all the interior lights off and instrument lights low. This will help your night vision. You can’t avoid what you can’t see. Plan the trip at the dock
while the light is good. Use your GPS, if you have one, to keep informed of your position and the way home. A chart is absolutely required so you know
what is around you. Radar is nice to keep you on track and avoid others.
Work up your knowledge a little at a time. Take your dinghy around the marina after dark. When you see boats and other lighted objects, try to picture
them as they would look during the day. Which way is that boat going? Sail or power? Is that the breakwater light, obstruction, mooring area etc.?
Q: Is knowledge of night navigation light combinations helpful?
A: Absolutely. During the day, when you see a boat, picture the running lights at night. Would you see red or green, white and red, white and green
just white? What do these light combinations mean? Who has the right-of-way? (Hint: a red light seen on the other boat generally warns you to stop o
give way). You can buy a plastic “crib sheet” at a marine store, which shows various colored light combinations. And, I would suggest taking a boating
course from the Auxiliary.
Choose your night trip carefully. Never enter a strange harbor after dark. For example, there are places on Catalina that have no lights but plenty of
rocks! Also, the tanker mooring area off El Segundo is an incredibly bad place to be when it’s dark.
Before you go at night, what kind of moon will there be? Is cloud cover going to make it darker? Adjust your trip to the conditions that you nd. You
can always do another trip.
A trip outside the marina to watch the sun go down can be very nice. Turn on your navigation lights, sip your coffee/tea (alcohol is denitely not a good
idea at night) and head back to complete your rst night outing. “Red, right, returning” means the breakwater’s red light should be on your right side
as you come home.
At night stay alert (and situation-aware) by watching all the lights and identifying what they are. Is that red light a sail boat or a trafc light on the coast
highway? And ohhhh, look at all those white things up in the sky!

As of March 1, the rocksh openerarrived and we all know that’s good
news. Up and down the coast, anglersare getting their limits although it willvary depending on the species ofrocksh you target. If you’re up fora little traveling, Oxnard is a preferredspot for larger species of Red. I suggestgetting in the car and driving up thereand nding one of the great charterboats (with knowledgeable Captains)that are around to charter. The drive isworth the experience. As for preferredbait I’d say ask a local professionalwhat bait they’re typically using in thearea. Or Yo-yoing iron is a good option
or use two large hook dropper loops.
Besides rocksh, be aware there arenice lingcod, sheephead and yellowtailaround and the best way to locate themis a sh-nder. Another bit of goodnews is that spring is when the whiteseabass arrive in Southern Californiawaters. There’s plenty of choices!
In Catalina, I’m hearing and seeingthat the bonita, yellowtail, bass androcksh are plentiful. Surface shing is just starting.
As we get closer to summer, the watertemps will get warmer but wouldn’tit would be great if this was an earlyseason?
Until next time………Tight Lines

he trouble with teak is that it’s a lot of work, becoming a literal “energy sponge” and I’ll admit right out the gate that I derive
little enjoyment from teak or work. So, for me, it’s bad karma - I mean boat’ma - from the very start. If God made boats, they
would be all iberglass.
Sadly, I can’t afford one of those new iberglass boats with Lexan or acrylic ports and hatches, stainless steel hand rails, and
aluminum toe rails; and, not a trace of teak or any other “exotic” wood on the exterior of the boat. Fiberglass, aluminum and
stainless steel are shear beauty to my eyes. Accent wood on the inside, ine, but no termite bait on the outside....pleeeeze.
You see, I’ve always been a “low maintenance” kind’a guy. Now that I have drifted past 60, I’m thinkin’ more along the lines of “no maintenance”
It even seems like nearly every woman I’ve known, over the years, has told me that I was a little too laid-back; perhaps lacking even a vestige
of pep - much less gusto. But, that assessment probably had more to do with my generally disheveled appearance, remotely detached interest
and borderline boat-rat aura, rather than my undernourished work ethic. But I digress...
Unfortunately, (as you might have expected after having read the preceding paragraph) things have not worked out as I would have liked them
to (do they ever?). One of my more minor disappointments is the fact that I own a not so new (actually downright old) Beneteau -built when
yacht designers still felt compelled to oblige tradition and obsolescence with strips of wood scattered about on the outside of an otherwise
perfectly good plastic boat.
Now, if you’re like me, unfortunate enough to have wood trim, but too poor to pay someone to sweat over it, you will need to maintain it
yourself. So let’s get this back breaking job over with as quickly and smoothly as possible so we can have time for a beer...or two.
Wood, being organic matter, like us, drys out, cracks, rots, discolors, deteriorates, gets grungy and fades (wish I could have worked “wrinkles”
in there). That being the grim reality of life and boat ownership, you are faced with two choices when it comes to teak; 1) Break your back to
keep it looking bristol, and spend lots of money in the ultimately hopeless process. 2) Do the minimum job necessary to keep the boat looking
barely presentable to the untrained eye, allowing more time for sailing and ruminating about boats, women and life.
No need to guess to which group I belong, so let’s cover the bare minimum requirements and get this over with. I ind just writing about wood
exhausting. Perhaps I should take a nap...but no, I will gather my strength and press onward, and face the soulless Golem of teak.
First thing is to scrub and clean it. Generally, one part cleaners are cheaper, easier to use (music to my ears) and not as harsh on the teak. Before
you begin, you may want to put on some gloves and perhaps even wear eye protection. My skin is like shoe leather (probably got that way
from not wearing gloves) so not much bothers me. If possible don’t use a stiff bristle brush, but if you do, scrub at a 45-degree angle, across the

grain - never parallel with it. Personally, I use one of those green scrunges, with a mild cleaner and as little elbow-grease as possible. Be sure to
wet the teak before you begin and rinse when you’re inished. Do the job in sections and remember to rinse before the teak dries, coated with
nasty, crusty layer of cleaner and teak-dust; which will require you to expend additional energy and time removing. If you’re doing large areas
of deck use a pole-brush, at a 45-degree angle, and rinse often. Probably smart to read the label since the products may vary and you don’t want
to damage your boat or dissolve your deck-shoes and possibly your feet.
Note: If your decks are really grungy you may want to use a two part cleaner and rinse often. Gloves and safety glasses are a must with these
more caustic, two-part cleaner/strippers. If your ingernails blacken and fall off you’ll know that your 99-Cent Store gloves were inadequate.
In cases of severely worn teak decks, with raised grain, it may be necessary to sand them. If you are not experienced in this sort of work youmay want to call in a professional, rather than have your decks take on the appearance of the surface of the moon. Also, keep in mind that the
Harbor Patrol considers the sanding dust a pollutant and you may be cited it you don’t use a dust containment device. I wonder how they fee
about the clouds of concrete dust rising from all the demolition and construction in the marina? Or, all the dust blowers and hose nozzles used
by dozens of maintenance personnel, all over the marina, to blow or rinse leaves, oil drippings, pet urine and droppings into the marina? I
wonder how many pounds of sea lion dung gets “released” into the marina every day? But I’d better not go there; some people ind reality
offensive, or even threatening.
If the teak areas you’re cleaning have caulking then, after everything dries, is a good time to inspect the caulking. If only small areas need to be
re-caulked buy a tube of one of the single-part caulks and a caulking-gun. Be sure to clean out the teak seams with a special tool, called a “teak
blade” or “reeing-hook”. If you’re just touching up small areas, then a slot-head screwdriver of the correct width, handled carefully, should do
the job of cleaning out the seams. If the area to re-caulk is extensive a dremel tool with a small wire wheel or a grinding head may be used to
clean the seams in more recalcitrant areas. However, if you get in a hurry, the head of the dremel may jump out of the seam/groove and damage
the edges. Take your time.
After the problem areas of calking have been removed, a stiff bristle paint brush and a small shop-vac should clean up the grooves nicely, before
you re-caulk.
Be sure to tape off the raised area of teak on either side of the seam before you apply the new caulk. Cut just the tip off the tube of caulk and
try it. If the line of caulk is wispy than cut off a little more from the tip. Repeat the process until it feels right, and neatly ills the groove as you
slowly move the caulking gun along. This may take a little practice to get it smooth. Keep a rag and solvent handy as you move along.
When it comes to inishing decks, handrails, hatch-boards or other trim, the choices span from the traditionalist use of plain old salt water to
“gray the teak”, to basic teak-oil, varnishes, polyurethanes and beyond, that include expensive, but far more durable, two-part sealers and two-
part caulks. Read the labels on the products you’ve chosen, carefully. If you’re using a gloss or semi-gloss product buy a good brush, lightly sand
with 360-400 grit paper between coats and wipe off the dust with paint thinner before applying the next coat. Never be in a hurry when you
apply varnish, and never varnish decks.
Personally, I use ive coats of varnish, lightly sanding between coats, on exterior trim and handholds, which are under cover, and let the rest age
elegantly to gray...kinda like me.

hen it comes to races that venture into the waters of Mexico, the Newport to Ensenada grabs most of the headlines with the
Cabo Race getting talked about as well. Del Rey Yacht Club’s Marina del Rey to Puerto Vallarta contest had some time in
the sun back in the day, but what doesn’t get nearly enough attention is an event that is a true challenge—a beast of a trek
– the Guadalupe Island Race out of Marina del Rey.
Every two years the Pacic Single Handed Sailors Association hosts this short-handed 582 mile marathon to the shark
infested waters of Guadalupe Island. It’s 300-mile excursion from the Santa Monica Bay downwind to the Island of Guadalupe in Mexico and then
a brutal 300-mile upwind battle back to Catalina Island. The trip back is usually far more than 300 due to the amount of tacking involved.
In a past race, accomplished solo sailor Jerome Sammarcelli sailed his 21-foot mini-transat boat around the course and spoke openly about how trying
the event can be, particularly on the way back, which is a very long upwind beat:
“On one tack you feel like you’re basically sailing away from Catalina and the other tack you’re heading back to Guadalupe Island,” Sammarcelli said
of how disheartening the ride home can be. “At that point I just broke down—I felt like I was not going anywhere. It seemed like I would never make
it back.”
This year four boats went to sea—among them two die-hard solo sailors in the mix—Jamie Cantu in Can2 and Rod Percival sailing Rubicon III
Percival is always a favorite to win in races such as these. He embodies the spirit of the typical PSSA member—tough, smart, prepared and relentless
The Guadalupe Island Race is probably the pride of the Pacic Single Handed Sailors Association, as low key as they are. The race is emblematic of
what they quietly do within the local yachting scene—stage substantial challenging events that require true seamanship and preparation to accomplish
Nearly all of their races contain some sort of trial embedded and require the sailor to be knowledgable and ready.
Check out next month’s Mariner - we will try to squeeze a sea-story out of one of these particpants and get a back stage pass to a truly tough passage.

ere is the latest from the Newport to Ensenada folks who will once again be staging the iconic race on April 22 off the Balboa Pier in Newport
at 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. This year they have taken a page out of the Border Run playbook and created three choices of courses. A 62-mile course
from San Diego to Ensenada, a 172-mile long course where boats will sail around San Clemente Island and the standard 125 mile run from
Newport to Ensenada.
According to the latest report:
“The 2016 N2E entries are off to a strong start. There are a lot of interesting boats and clubs in the mix. The most well known boat is probably Tax
Dancer, an R/P68 rating - 84 out of Santa Barbara Yacht Club. The fastest boat entered so far is Aszhou an R/P63 at -143. The slowest boat is Bon
Vivant , a Catalina 30 rated 192.
“Notable for all the wrong reasons is Anarchy, a Melges 32 rated 6 (owner Scot Tempesta is the editor of the notorious SailingAnarchy.com). PHRF i
the largest group, promising some excellent class breaks and close racing. J120s and Fast50s are notable sub-classes.
“The fastest ORCA multihull entered is Uni, a Seacart 30 trimaran. Dana Pont Yacht Club leads with the most entries. There are several clubs, like
Pierpont Bay Yacht Club in Ventura, with only a single entry. There are three all female teams entered, but only one double hander.”
Sounds like the brass at the N2E is not crazy about Mr. Tempesta and the “notorious” Sailing Anarchy. Otherwise, organizers are optimistic for a strong
showing—fears of traveling in Mexico are dampened compared to a few years ago and that should bode well. They have strong sponsorship, a new
format and the weight of a long tradition on their side.

When boating, you’ll mostly tow your
dinghy. The practice is usually trouble-
free if you follow a few guidelines.
• Remove loose gear.
• Close the vent on the fuel tank.
• Tilt the outboard up.
• Ensure the towline is sturdy enough.
If possible, tow the dinghy with a
bridle from the dinghy’s towing ring
to the port and starboard quarters.
• Tie the towline securely to the yacht.
• Assess the best towing position for
your sailing speed and sea conditions.
Lengthen or shorten the towline to
keep yacht and dinghy in step with the
waves, or the dinghy in step with your
wake, whichever works best.
• Shorten the towline, or bring the
dinghy alongside, when picking up a
mooring, anchoring, or docking.
• When sailing on “big water”, hoist thedinghy on board and secure it on deck
(or in its davits if tted).
