Los Gallos claim first ever event win with historic victory in LA.

Spain made history in Los Angeles, beating Season 3 champions Australia and ROCKWOOL Denmark to claim its first ever SailGP event win.

Diego Botin’s young crew overcame light wind conditions by minimizing maneuvers and sailing the shortest distance to trounce ROCKWOOL DEN and Australia in front of sell-out shoreside crowds.

The win came after Spain scraped into the Final by a one-point margin over Canada - meaning they managed to convert their first Final appearance into a first event win in four seasons.

The victory followed a period of upheaval and uncertainty for the young Spanish team - with former flight controller Botin only becoming driver in February 2023 - and it moved them up into second in the Championship rankings.

SailGP on the move to Los Angeles

Published on July 20th, 2023 by Editor -->

The second installment of Season 4 for SailGP will be at a new venue as the 10 F50 teams adapt to a small course within the Port of Los Angeles on July 22-23, navigating the thermal afternoon breezes across six fleet races and a three-boat Final.

Peter Burling’s New Zealand will be looking to defend the top spot of the leaderboard from rivals Australia while Canada will aim to continue its promising season start. As for the USA team, skipper Jimmy Spithill seeks to improve on finishing second to last in Chicago.

While the venue is known as ‘Hurricane Gulch’ for its strong winds, the PredictWind forecast is presently calling for milder westerly conditions of 9-14 knots on day one and 6-8 knots on day two. More so, the wind will be coming from the hills of Palos Verdes which could offer significant lulls and puffs.

The Oracle Los Angeles Sail Grand Prix will take place between 4:00pm-5:30pm PDT.

News | Spain guts out the win as SailGP’s local debut wraps up in LA Outer Harbor

Racers spent the day searching for pivotal gusts in highly variable wind conditions as the oracle los angeles sail grand prix concluded.

The crew from Spain came through in the end, as racers spent the day searching for pivotal gusts in highly variable wind conditions in the finale of the Oracle Los Angeles Sail Grand Prix on Sunday, July 23.

The sailing event, the four-year-old SailGP tour’s debut in Southern California, was staged before jammed grandstands in front of a wildly praised course at the end of the Port of Los Angeles’ Berth 46.

Spain, Denmark and Australia prevailed in three races Saturday and two more on Sunday, landing them in the finals late Sunday. When the Spaniards prevailed, the sold-out crowd gave skipper Diego Botin, who took over the reins of SailGP’s youngest team in 2023, an enthusiastic standing ovation.

Ten high-tech catamarans soared across the water as SailGP arrived in Los Angeles County on Saturday . Fans packing the grandstands at L.A.’s Outer Harbor were eager for a second day of hydrofoil-fueled action on Sunday.

“The famous ‘hurricane gulch’ winds in our Outer Harbor are ideal for these $5 million, high-tech” boats,” Arley Baker, the Port of Los Angeles ‘ senior director of communications and stakeholder engagement, declared on Saturday. One sailor declared the POLA racecourse, surrounded by the shoreline and the breakwater, “an incredible venue.”

L.A. is the only stop where the fan area is directly adjacent to the racing base, providing a richer viewing experience, organizers said.

Despite inconsistent conditions, the racers put on a speedy show. And they were ready to set new course records on Sunday, aiming for a good-wind, flat-water opportunity off San Pedro.

Mother Nature had other ideas. The organizers, fans and racers all showed up hungry for a repeat. The wind, however, was frustratingly fickle.

Light to moderate winds prevailed most of the day; sometimes, the wind fell off in the usually gusty outer harbor. But the team from Spain’s late burst of speed was enough for victory as the event drew to a close.

While these incredible boats can sail in about any amount of wind, Sunday’s conditions could not muster up enough of it for sustained flying.

Seagoing strategists tirelessly searched for stronger gusts to have any hope of attaining any speed at all.

This was an experienced group, one ready for such a windfinder’s day. Though this was SailGP’s first foray into Southern California waters, many of the skippers were familiar with the area, having sailed in the Alamitos Bay Yacht Club’s small boat competitions. Four of the teams’ captains were veterans of the Congressional Cup, the annual Long Beach regatta.

In the end, the boats were able to foil in each of the races but no records were broken. Amid the light winds Sunday morning, large sails were installed on each of the matched boats, making controlling the watercraft more of a challenge.

When these boats are “foiling” they fly above the waves at close to freeway speeds, supported only on hydrofoils. The higher the foils are, the faster the boat goes. But as the foils go higher, control is progressively lost, racers say.

F1 motorsports driver Sebastian Vettel, a co-owner of the German team, noted the difficulty in maneuvering. After a practice run this week — his first experience sailing aboard these speed machines — he declared: “No brakes.”

This weekend’s event was part of a SailGP season during which international teams travel to iconic cities including Sydney, Auckland and Bermuda. L.A. was the second site of a 12-stop season that runs until June of 2024.

The next event is in St. Tropez in September.

Fans came from Orange County, Long Beach and the South Bay, excited to have the race in local waters. One group of Long Beach grandstand ticket holders, ranging in age from 19 to 80, chartered a bus and stopped for lunch at San Pedro Brewing Company before racing.

Some fans helped out with the event, too.

Recent UCLA grad Max Berg — a Long Beach lifeguard and Catalina 37 Wet Wednesday sailor — worked for Team New Zealand. He was looped in by Bell businessman and past New Zealand rugby star Dougie Pye.

Mike Segerblom, Executive Director at United States Sailing Center, connected SailGP with local youth programs to participate in SailGP’s Inspire program and provided some kelp analysis help at the racing venue.

Inspire is SailGP’s community, education and outreach initiative. It hosted foiling clinics both on and off the water on Wednesday and Thursday prior to the weekend races.

Tours of the tech base were held for local youth groups. One youth sailor who participated was 9-year-old Daisy Sumpter from Long Beach, who just last week took top honors in the Jessica Uniack Memorial Beach-to-Bay Race.

“On the morning tour of the base I was most fascinated by the way everything can be packed up and shipped to the next sailing venue in containers,” said Daisy. “I’m a water child. I’ve watched SailGP and I think about how it would feel to foil. It wouldbe scary but it would be fun.”

Melanie Roberts – one of Segerblom’s former students from the USC sailing program — connected him with SailGP officials. During racing, he was a “shock absorber,” helping out wherever needed to keep the course clear of non-racing boats.

Chuck Clay, staff commodore of Alamitos Bay YC, was one of the sailors who Segerblom recruited to help with the course marshal task.

Camille Daniels, 2000 chairman of Long Beach Yacht Club’s Congressional Cup, showed up to support Jimmy Spithill, who competed that year in the “grandfather of match racing.”

Spithill helmed the United States entry on Sunday, cheered on by Daniels.

Both agreed they’d like to see SailGP return to Southern California in 2025.

They are not alone. Race organizers declared the event a winner, thanking the Port of L.A. for its support.

The second event will be held inside the Port of Los Angeles , with grandstand seating overlooking the race course. The race area is known as Hurricane Gulch and is popular with windsurfers, kiteboarders and, of course, sailors. It’s the first time the event has been held in L.A. and the second event for Germany, which is the 10th team to join the league.

Summer sailing conditions in L.A. Harbor should be ideal, with strong late-afternoon breezes arising as the land heats up inland. The offshore breakwater keeps the water flat, creating ideal racing conditions for the foiling F50s.

The Oracle Los Angeles Sail Grand Prix will take place on July 22 and 23, with racing scheduled between 4:00 and 5.30 p.m. PDT. The TV broadcast is not live and will be on at 7 p.m. PDT. For tickets to grandstand seating and complete information click here .

Election | Los Angeles County certifies election, solidifying Board of Supervisors, DA results

Three incumbent supervisors win; district attorney george gascon and nathan hochman head to november runoff.

On Friday afternoon, the Los Angeles County registrar certified results from the March 5 primary election cementing the victories of three incumbent county supervisors and confirming that District Attorney George Gascón and challenger Nathan Hochman will proceed to a November runoff .

A total of 1,641,715 ballots were processed with 28.9% of eligible L.A. County voters casting ballots, according to the registrar.

While three and a half weeks may feel like a long time to wait for final results, this is the typical timeline for the vote certification process in California. Ensuring that every ballot is counted fairly is a challenge because the state has more than 22 million registered voters and waits for the arrival of all vote by mail ballots postmarked on Election Day.

During the days and weeks following the election, county registrars across the state are busy verifying signatures, reviewing rejected ballots and resolving discrepancies. The Secretary of State’s office will issue a final certification of results on April 14.

Here is where the major L.A. County and state races stood as of Friday’s update.

District Attorney Race

Incumbent George Gascón came in first in the district attorney’s race with 25.2% of the vote, followed by former federal prosecutor Nathan Hochman with 15.9% of the vote. The two will face off on the November ballot.

The race will pit the progressive criminal justice reform policies of Gascón against against the tougher-on crime approach of Hochman.

“The voters of Los Angeles County spoke loud and clear on March 5: Gascon’s extreme, pro-criminal policies have failed and the people want a new District Attorney who will advocate for crime victims and strive every day to keep them safe,” Hochman said in a statement released after the certification of results.

Gascón has vowed to stick to his reform agenda, which includes a ban trying juveniles as adults, and on many sentencing enhancements, and on the prosecution of a wide swath of misdemeanors.

In a statement released shortly after election night, Gascón said the primary results showed “that a strong base of voters are committed to moving forward, not returning to the failed criminal justice policies of the past.”

The incumbent attorney faced a crowded field of 11 challengers in the primary race. Aside from Gascón and Hochman, Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Hatami was the only other candidate who hit the double digits. He finished the race in third place with 13.2% of the vote.

Board of Supervisors races

Incumbent county supervisors Holly Mitchell, Janice Hahn and Kathryn Barger all received a majority of the vote in their respective districts. As a result, they won their seats outright and will forgo a November runoff.

In the race for the 2nd District, which represents the South Bay’s coastal communities, Mitchell received 68.45%. Daphne Bradford came in second place with 13.2% of the vote, while Clint Carlton came in third with 11.3% and Katrina Williams in fourth with 7.0%.

In the 4th District, Hahn finished with 57.8%, defeating both former L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva who had 28.1% of the vote and Rancho Palos Verdes Mayor John Cruikshank who had 14.1%. The district runs from Torrance, Palos Verdes, San Pedro and Long Beach up through the 605 Freeway corridor cities to Whittier, then westerly to Huntington Park, Lynwood and South Gate.

“For four more years, communities across our district will have a voice and a warrior working to expand housing that is affordable, raise wages for workers, expand mental health services, urgently house the unhoused, protect clean air and water, safeguard reproductive freedom, help small businesses compete and grow, while building safer neighborhoods for all,” Hahn said in a March 8 victory statement.

Barger won the 5th District seat with 56.8%, defeating state Assemblymember Chris Holden, D-Pasadena, who spent more than $1 million on the race and finished with 21.9% of the vote. Burbank City Councilmember Konstantine Anthony finished with 11.4%, Perry Goldberg of Acton with 7.6% and Marlon Marroquin with 2.2%.

This district runs from the north county area of the Antelope Valley and Santa Clarita Valley, through the Angeles National Forest and the foothill communities of the San Gabriel Valley.

U.S. Senate

The November ballot will pitch Representative Adam Schiff, D-Burbank, against Republican and former Dodger player Steve Garvey in the race for U.S. Senate. Final results in this race are still awaiting certification from the secretary of state’s office.

As of March 29, Schiff held 31.6% of the vote and Garvey held with 31.5%. Rep. Katie Porter, D-Irvine, was in third with 15.3% and Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, was in fourth with 9.8%. The remaining 23 candidates each had 3% or less of the vote.

While Garvey benefitted from the split Democratic vote in the primary, in deep blue California the one-on-one partisan showdown in November plays to the advantage of Schiff. The last time a Republican from California was elected to the U.S. Senate was Pete Wilson in 1988.

Proposition 1

Governor Newsom declared victory for his $6.4 billion mental health bond measure on March 20. The final results are awaiting certification from the secretary of state’s office, but as of March 29 the measure was supported by 50.2% of voters and opposed by 49.8%.

“I’ve never been associated with something I’m more proud of,” Newsom said at Los Angeles press conference celebrating the bill’s passage. He added that “now is the time” to deliver on his vision to fix a broken mental health system and get people off the streets.

The measure will direct $4.4 billion to create 10,000 new mental health beds and $2 billion for homeless housing projects, half of which will be reserved for veterans with mental illnesses or substance use issues. It will also require that counties spend 30% of revenue from the Mental Health Services Act on housing.

On election night it was not clear whether the measure would pass . Opponents decried the proposition as fiscally irresponsible and argued that it could result in the defunding of existing mental health services. It came close to failure in successive vote updates and at one point there were only 13,000 votes , in a state with 22 million registered voters, standing between the measure passing and failing.

The Census is changing its categories on race and ethnicity. Here’s what that means for Latinos

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

The U.S. Census Bureau will have new categories for race and ethnicity for the first time in 27 years, directly affecting people who identify as Hispanic, Latino, Middle Eastern and North African.

Announced in a Federal Register Notice by the Office of Management and Budget, the Census will no longer have separate questions asking for a person’s race and their ethnicity. Instead, there will be a single question that asks, “What is your race and/or your ethnicity?”

U.S. census data show Hispanic populations in California are shifting

New U.S. census data analyzed by the San Francisco Chronicle show California’s Hispanic populations are changing.

Dec. 12, 2023

Under this reformatted question, “Hispanic or Latino” and “Middle Eastern or North African” will be listed as options. Previously, people who identify as Middle Eastern or North African were expected to mark the “White” option.

Questions surrounding an individual’s ethnicity and racial background in goverment documents can be confusing. According to a Pew Research Center report , “Four-in-ten Hispanics (42%) marked their race as ‘some other race’ in the 2020 census without marking any other response.” 23% of Latino adults said the census represented their identity “not too well” or “not at all well.”

Mark Hugo Lopez, director of race and ethnicity research at Pew Research Center, said he was curious to see how Latinos will react to the changes.

“It should not impact the count of people who say they are Hispanic or Latino, and the patterns we’ve been seeing of population growth should continue, but the new approach will give us more detailed data about Latinos in terms of their origin,” Lopez said. “But there are some tradeoffs — we might not know quite the same amount or the same details of what we know now about Latinos and racial identity.”

Meeta Anand, senior director of census and data equity at the Leadership Conference on Human and Civil Rights, an umbrella organization of various civil rights groups, sees these changes as more than a step toward accuracy.

“We hope that when people see themselves reflected in the choices, they will be more likely to respond, and that way we are able to ensure our communities are getting the state and federal funding necessary for their society,” Anand said. “When we look at understanding how to draw voting districts and making sure people are accurately represented by their elected officials, [the data] gives a better understanding of the people on the ground that they are representing.”

Not everyone sees the change as a positive. Juanita Palacios-Sims, founder of the International Society for Black Latinos, says she is concerned about how these changes will affect the count of the Afro Latino community.

“We’re not being counted correctly because we’ve had to check several boxes,” said Palacios-Sims.

“All my life it’s either we go with the race or the ethnicity. We are Black as the race, but our ethnic background is Latino. So we have always had to check two boxes. if there are two boxes, [Afro Latinos] are probably just going to pick Latinos and that just bunches us up.”

These updates will not appear on the Census until the next survey in 2030, but Anand hopes the changes will be present in the next American Community Survey, a yearly analysis conducted by the Census Bureau. Additionally, various state and local governments may begin to revamp their forms in the near future to meet these new government standards.

Lakers Will Be 'Star Hunting' This Offseason, Per Report

Los Angeles will look to acquire another big name.

• Author: Liam McKeone, Special to SI.com

The Los Angeles Lakers entered Sunday with a 41-33 record, good for ninth in the Western Conference. The organization will have to balance playoff seeding with the health of LeBron James in the final weeks of the regular season, but the Lakers are on pace to enter postseason play with both James and Anthony Davis at full capacity. That means Los Angeles has a chance against anyone, whether it comes in the Play-In Tournament or a standard seven-game series.

However, this Lakers team is not considered to be a true title contender. James and Davis remain one of the league's premier one-two punches but the rest of the roster isn't all too threatening compared to true beasts of the West like the Denver Nuggets or Minnesota Timberwolves. It is a problem Los Angeles must address next offseason barring an incredibly unlikely championship run. If the organization wants LeBron to stick around for a few more years they have to prove to him, again, that they'll go to great lengths to put real star power around him.

So it shouldn't come as a big surprise to hear reports suggesting the Lakers will be actively hunting for another high-level player to group with James and Davis. The Athletic's Jovan Buha reported the team is going "third star hunting" this summer, and named Trae Young as one of several targets they could pursue:

“Yes, they are,” Buha said when asked if the Lakers are going to chase a third star. “And I can confirm that from multiple sources. They are going third-star hunting this offseason. And we’ll see how that affects the D-Lo (D’Angelo Russell) situation. We’ll see how — you probably have to give up Austin [Reaves] in almost any…third-star trade. … Now, who’s available? The one name I continually hear is Trae Young. He’s been to Laker playoff games before. He’s a Klutch Sports client. That’s probably the most realistic one right now.

“What happens with Dallas and Kyrie [Irving]? Do they flame out? Do they lose in the play-in? Do they lose in round one? Does Dallas ultimately break that up? And then what’s the market for Kyrie? Donovan Mitchell, it seems like there’s been a little bit more growing optimism and buzz that he’s gonna stay in Cleveland. But even if he leaves, the two New York teams have reportedly been the favorites just because he’s from the greater New York area.”

Young does indeed seem to be the most likely candidate to end up a Laker compared to these other names. LeBron and the Lakers declined a chance to get on the Kyrie Irving train when he requested a trade out of Brooklyn last year. Donovan Mitchell may not love Cleveland but they aren't going to give him up for cheap, given he has one more year left on his contract, and there's the aforementioned New York factor.

Young, as Buha notes above, is a Klutch Sports client, a factor always in play when it comes to the Lakers. He led the Atlanta Hawks to another underwhelming season, with the team currently on pace to finish 10th overall in the East. Most importantly, Young's supermax deal runs for another three seasons. By targeting Young, the Lakers would be going after a 25-year-old highlight-reel point guard who will be in LA until he is 28 and could very well stick around through his prime seasons.

Of course, the Hawks are going to want a king's ransom for their franchise player. If they even decide to trade Young, which is far from a guarantee. Los Angeles has some decent pieces, like the aforementioned Austin Reaves, but they aren't overflowing with assets. Trading for Young might be trickier in practice.

The Lakers are always star-hunting because they're the Lakers. It's what they do. From the sounds of it, though, this offseason might be more active on that front than it has been in years.
