According to a report in the SF Chronicle (
1 dead, 4 missing in yacht race accident), 1 dead & 4 missing sailors. Apparently a 38 ft
boat ran aground & was subsequently hit with large waves,
washing crew members
overboard, during the
race around The Farralone Islands.
I'm sure we'll hear much more about this, but those familiar with these waters and this race know how treacherous those waters can be.
