About 10 years ago, I visited Farallone Yacht sales while on lunch break from a local software contract. I met Patricia and she was super welcoming. I let her know that I was not planning to buy, but liked the tugs. Patricia had a sales rep give me a tour of the tugs. We discussed new versus used, color options, feature sets and more. He even detailed how to control the vessel with the optional impellers and joystick. When we were done, I was sent on my way with beautiful brochures .. I live in the area, and just happened to remember my experience while walking my dog past FYS last week. Thank you Patricia ...

After many years of dreaming for my next sailboat I feel an angel brought our family to Patricia Garfield, owner of Farallone Yachts, and all of the wonderful people she introduced us too. She is an accomplished expert sailor, master certified 100 Ton coast guard captain and merchant Marine officer with many other racing awards and sailing accomplishments. Farallone specializes in Catalina Sailboats and made our purchase so stress free. She originally sold the boat we bought to the original owner in 2007 so we had all of the maintenance records and receipts for add on's that confirmed the bristol condition of our new yacht. Everything was is perfect working condition. After the sale, she continues to support us with expert referrals and even introduced us to her friend and fellow sail captain, Diane, to give my wife and daughter one on one lessons so that they can one day singlehand the boat. I give Farallone my highest recommendation to anyone looking to purchase a new or used boat.

Sold my boat through Farallone because they appeared to be the primary Catalina dealer in the area, of which my boat was one. They represented both buyer and seller in my transaction and I felt they strongly favored the buyer. As a seller you are in a weak bargaining position because of the monthly berthing fee. I had to pay for equipment that was not included in the original offer to sell, and I was told that I should "negotiate" the county taxes coming due directly with the buyer, as they did not address that in the contract. A more honest answer would have been to tell me that I'm on the hook for more than a year of the buyer's tax liability according to state law. I would not sell a boat through Farallone Yacht Sales again.

My husband and I purchased a new sailboat three years ago, the experience we had through the purchasing process was amazing. The customer service experience was truly a 5 star. Pat helped us with identify the right boat, assisted us with pointing us towards knowledgeable financing brokers and insurance experts, a complete turn key experience that we would recommend to anyone. Even after several years, Pat Garfield, owner of Farallone checks in with us and actually and continues to provide us valuable input and sharing her expert sailing knowledge. We highly recommend Pat Garfield and her team at Farallone Yacht Sales.

We purchased our new Catalina 385 last October from Captain Pat Garfield. The experience was extremely positive from start to finish. Attention to detail and making sure everything was perfect. You couldn't ask for a more professional and knowledgable group. A huge bonus was when our boat came in, we received photo's of her while in production and was called to come and visit once it off loaded in the bay area. We feel so lucky to have had two captains show us the ropes on our new boat, every detail was covered. We couldn't be happier. Everyone at Farralone Yacht Sales to this day continue to be extremely friendly and it feels like we are a part of the Farralone family. We are so grateful for all of the help realizing our dream. Thank you Pat, Captain Diane, Tracy and Ray for being so helpful. I would recommend them to anyone who is serious about buying a boat.

I recently purchased a new-to-me boat from Patty Garfield at Farallone Yachts. She is an experienced sailor and incredibly knowledgeable about everything boat related. However, what made the buying experience so wonderful and comfortable was Patty's sincere, kind approach. She genuinely tries to match a buyer with the right boat. I never felt pressured. I felt as though I had a friend guiding me toward the right choice. I bought my boat right before an extended family vacation, and yet I wanted to get some initial work done on the boat while I was gone. Patty offered to take care of it for me, and I am most grateful. I would highly recommend Patty to anyone looking to buy a boat. She will be your partner in the process. That's rare.

You will not find a more honest, fairer, more customer orientated yacht dealer in the Bay than Farallone Yacht Sales. Patricia Garfield, owner and operator of Farallone Yachts, always goes the extra mile (I've sold one, and purchased three sail boats with the assistance of Farallone Yachts) to make sure you get the best deal possible whether you are a buyer or a seller. Diane Murray, Patricia Garfield's captain in residence, will work tirelessly to make sure the boat you buy or sell is in tip top working order, and will even climb aboard to help put it that way, regardless of how long it takes. I just can't say enough about how great my experience has been working with Farallone Yacht Sales as both a buyer and a seller. There is no better!

You will not find harder working and more caring brokers than roger and Dinah Goodsell. They did great work for me and I recommend them unhesitatingly to anyone.

What Our Customers Say

We sold our sailboat!! Thanks Wayne!! Been great working with you and thanks for sticking with it and working with us throughout the entire process! Highly recommend to others!!

Patty Curtis

Tracy was incredibly helpful, and showed us around a boat we were interested in. We later put an offer on that boat, but ended up falling out for other reasons. The whole process was very smooth and helpful even though it didn't work out. Great guy, great experience. Thanks guys.

We have bought and sold numerous boats over the years and I have never been as pleased with the broker as we have been with Geli Burgin at Atomic Tuna. Her advertising was 1st rate. She was 100% dependable, timely, knowledgeable and very pleasant to deal with. Thank you Geli.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for all that you did to help us get in our boat. And I want you to know I love love love those atomic tuna hats. Whoever picked those out did a great job color everything it's like I hope it never wears out. Anyway, a big shout out to Atomic tuna and you for all that you did and I just wanted to take the time to say thank you hope you have a great rest of the year and stay in touch.

Jon Trovati

If you want to buy/sell your boat you have come to the right place. Very knowledgeable brokers assist you in the selling or purchase process all the way through. If you are new boating they will take the time to explain to you the process from beginning to end. If you want to work with a set of brokers with a high degree of integrity you have come to the right place. Power, Sail, or Catamaran.

Michael Severson from SeaWind Sailing and Travel

Often, these reviews are done in the heat-of-the-moment. Which can work either way depending on a lot of factors. I chose to wait a few months after my purchase to really gain a perspective on my purchase of our 2016 Beneteau 41 Sailboat. On reflection, Atomic Tuna did a great job for us. The team was well trained and professional and delivered to me all the information I needed to make an informed decision. But, there was an issue during the course of negotiations. It wasn't big, so no details here. It was just an issue at the time. My point is that Atomic Tuna made it right. They did not have to and knew the deal was going through regardless, but they stepped up. As you choose a broker, keep in mind this story. If everything goes perfectly, you can have a crummy broker, BUT if you choose your broker based on your own personal worst-case-scenario, you would do well by choosing Atomic Tuna as they have proven to me that they take care of their customers FIRST and FOREMOST.

Maxwell Anthony Andy Graham

Thank you, Atomic Tuna and Farallone Yachts for hosting the virtual boat show. We would rather be out there in San Francisco in person, but this event really helped us get our cruising fix, and learn a tremendous amount in the process. Now if we could just work on adding some virtual reality sailing next time it would be perfect!

Working with Wayne has been an excellent experience. I purchased my boat through him. We discussed at length what I wanted to accomplish. He directed me to some quality blue water cruiser, managed the purchase, and continued to support me until I got underway. That was two years ago. He cares about his clients. I cannot recommend Atomic Tuna enough.

Kurt Christofferson

After looking for over ten years, i purchased my first and probably only boat through Atomic Tuna. I had the opportunity to work with Wayne from start to finish. He exemplifies the cliche of "going above and beyond".I continually put the cart before the horse throughout the process, but Wayne was always there to keep the process on track. Atomic tuna and Wayne significantly raise the bar for all yacht brockerages/brokers.

Chase Linrothe

My husband and I had the great pleasure of purchasing a sailboat from Atomic Tuna with Geli helping us every step of the way. She is a professional and is very knowledgeable in every aspect of the buying process. She was there for us very time we had a question and was patient with our obvious inexperience. her kindness, experience and overall knowledge made our experience very pleasurable. We would highly recommend her to anyone thinking of purchasing a boat!

Jeanine Rutherford 

This was an amazing tour! You definitely sold me, one of the best walk-through videos I've seen. you really know your product. Love the way you did some of the walk through under way. This was Toby Hodges level.

My wife and i purchased our forest boat through Atomic Tuna Yacht Sales. Michele was very helpful in guiding us through the process, answering questions, and in making certain our needs were addressed every step of the way. Even after the transaction was completed, she strives to help ensure our boat ownership experience is extremely positive, Wayne ensured the transaction was efficient, and that we had a all the information we needed on a very timely manner. I would highly recommend Atomic Tuna yachts!

Tracy Reigelman

I've been a blue water sailor and 9 boat owner over the past 40 years. So I would say that I'm reasonably experienced in the process of evaluating a yacht broker. Mr. Wayne Goldman is a signature level professional with years of clearly evident experience. His commitment to detail and personal integrity has been our most appreciated pleasure in working with him and the team at Atomic Tuna. Our 70 foot motor yacht was cleaned, staged, video, photo and 3D scanned to provide the most accurate presentation of it's market offering. The Atomic Tuna team have been responsive to buyers agents 24/7 by phone and in person...

Russian Disinformation Videos Smear Biden Ahead of U.S. Election

Many of the videos are trying to appeal to right-wing voters with fake messages about President Biden, experts say.

• Share full article

By Julian E. Barnes and Steven Lee Myers

Julian Barnes, who covers U.S. intelligence agencies, and Steven Lee Myers, who covers misinformation, have been reporting on Russian efforts to influence the 2024 presidential election.

Last month, a video began circulating on social media purporting to tell the story of an internet troll farm in Kyiv targeting the American election.

Speaking in English with a Slavic accent, “Olesya” offers a first-person account of how she and her colleagues initially worked in support of President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine. Then, she says, after a visit by mysterious Americans who were “probably C.I.A.,” the group began sending messages to American audiences in support of President Biden.

“We were told our new target was the United States of America, especially the upcoming elections,” the woman in the video says. “Long story short, we were asked to do everything to prevent Donald Trump from winning the elections.”

The video is fake, part of an effort to cloud the political debate ahead of the U.S. elections.

U.S. officials say the video is consistent with Russian disinformation operations as internet warriors aligned with Russia appear to be honing their strategy. Some of the old tactics of 2016 or 2020 could be used again, with new refinements.

An analysis of the video done by U.S. intelligence agencies found that the voice of “Olesya” was synthetically generated, an intelligence official said Thursday, a potential sign of how Russian operatives are blending new techniques with old tactics.

While there has been much hand-wringing over the role that artificial intelligence could play this year in fooling voters, current and former officials said that videos were one of the most immediate threats.

Microsoft said the video featuring “Olesya” probably came from a group it calls Storm-1516, a collection of disinformation experts who now focus on creating videos they hope might go viral in America.

The group most likely includes veterans of the Internet Research Agency, a Kremlin-aligned troll farm that sought to influence the 2016 election. The agency was run by Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner mercenary group who led a rebellion against the Kremlin and then was killed in a plane crash that American and allied officials believe was orchestrated by Russian intelligence agencies.

Microsoft said the group also included people associated with Valery Korovin, the figurehead of an obscure Moscow-based think tank called the Center for Geopolitical Expertise, a conservative organization affiliated with Aleksandr Dugin, an ultranationalist writer who faces U.S. sanctions for his role in recruiting fighters for the war.

Russian operatives are leaning into videos, many of them that falsely purport to be made by independent journalists or whistle-blowers. The videos, opposed to blog or social media posts, are more likely to spread beyond the conspiratorial fringes of America and become part of mainstream discourse.

On Wednesday afternoon, Avril D. Haines, the director of national intelligence, told the Senate Intelligence Committee that Russia was the most active threat to the coming election. Russia, she said, tries to erode trust in democratic institutions, exacerbate social divisions and undermine support for Ukraine.

“Russia relies on a vast multimedia influence apparatus, which consists of its intelligence services, cyberactors, state media proxies and social media trolls,” she said. “Moscow most likely views such operations as a means to tear down the United States.”

China has a sophisticated influence operation and is increasingly confident in its ability to affect election results, Ms. Haines said. But she added that the intelligence community assessed that China did not try to influence the 2020 presidential election, and that so far there was no information that China would be more active in this year’s contests.

Senator Mark Warner, Democrat of Virginia and the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, said that adversaries had a greater incentive than ever to intervene in elections but that the public had too often treated such meddling “as trivial or quaint.”

Clint Watts, the general manager of Microsoft’s Threat Analysis Center, said pushing out written disinformation with bots was largely a waste of time — in 2024 it is disinformation video that has the best chance of spreading with American audiences.

The C.I.A. video, Mr. Watts said, was a classic Russian tactic: accuse your adversary of the very thing you are doing. “When they say there’s a troll farm operated by Zelensky in Ukraine going after the U.S. election, what they’re saying is this is what we’re doing,” Mr. Watts said.

Walter Trosin, a spokesman for the C.I.A., said the agency was not involved in the activities described in the video.

“This claim is patently false and precisely the type of disinformation that the intelligence community has long warned about,” Mr. Trosin said. “C.I.A. is a foreign-focused organization that takes our obligation to remain uninvolved in American politics and elections very seriously.”

At the Senate hearing, Ms. Haines praised the C.I.A. for calling out the video publicly, saying it was an example of how the government will identify disinformation by Russia or other countries during the current election.

Multiple groups in Russia push out disinformation aimed at America . In addition to the videos, researchers and government officials say, Russia has created a handful of fake American local news sites and is using them to push out Kremlin propaganda , interspersed with stories about crime, politics and culture.

Gen. Paul M. Nakasone, who retired from the Army this year and is the former director of the National Security Agency, said the best defense to Russian disinformation remained the same: identifying it and publicizing the propaganda push. The United States, he said, needs to expand its information sharing both domestically and around the world so people can identify, and discount, disinformation spread by Moscow.

“The great antidote to all of this is being able to shine a light on it,” said General Nakasone, who last week was named as the founding director of Vanderbilt University’s new Institute for National Defense and Global Security. “If they are trying to influence or interfere in our elections, we should make it as hard as possible for them.”

Some mainstream Republicans have already warned fellow lawmakers to be wary of repeating claims that originated in Russian disinformation or propaganda.

“We see directly coming from Russia attempts to mask communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor,” Representative Michael R. Turner, an Ohio Republican who is the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told CNN’s “State of the Union” on April 7.

Russia’s information warriors have pushed fake videos to spread lies about Ukraine , aimed at undermining its credibility or painting it as corrupt. Republican politicians opposed to sending more aid to Ukraine have repeated baseless allegations that Mr. Zelensky has tried through associates to buy a yacht, disinformation that first appeared on a video posted to YouTube and other social media sites.

Most of the videos produced by Storm-1516 fail to get traction. Others come close. A video pushed out on a Russian Telegram channel purported to show Ukrainian soldiers burning an effigy of Mr. Trump, blaming him for delays in aid shipments.

The video was highlighted on Alex Jones’s right-wing conspiracy site, InfoWars, and other English-language outlets. But it was quickly discounted — the purportedly Ukrainian soldiers had Russian accents and were masked.

“This campaign has been working to advance some of Russia’s key objectives, particularly that of portraying Ukraine as a corrupt, rogue state that cannot be trusted with Western aid,” Mr. Watts said.

Since last August, Microsoft has identified at least 30 videos produced by Storm-1516. The first ones were aimed at Ukraine. But others are trying to influence American politics by appealing to right-wing audiences with messages that Mr. Biden is benefiting from Ukrainian assistance.

Intelligence officials, lawmakers and security firms have warned about the use of artificial intelligence by China, Russia and other nation states intent on spreading disinformation. But so far, Russian groups like Storm-1516 have mostly avoided using A.I. tools, according to security firms.

“Many of the A.I. campaigns are easy to detect or unwind,” said Brian Murphy, the general manager of national security at Logically, which tracks disinformation. “A.I. is getting better, but it is still not at the stage this year wherein it is going to be used at the scale and with the quality some predict. Maybe in a year or so.”

Both government officials and outside experts, however, have said that A.I.-altered audio had proved more effective than altered videos. At the hearing on Wednesday, Ms. Haines highlighted a fake audio recording released in Slovakia two days before its parliamentary election. While quickly identified as fake, news and government agencies struggled to disclose the manipulation and the target of the fake recording lost a close election.

Outside experts have said that artificial intelligence has been used in some Russian propaganda videos to obscure accents. It is not clear exactly why a synthetic voice would have been used in the fake video of the C.I.A. troll farm.

But on Wednesday, Ms. Haines said artificial intelligence and other innovations “have enabled foreign influence actors to produce seemingly authentic and tailored messaging more efficiently at greater scale and with content adapted for different languages and cultures.”

For now, though, basic videos like the C.I.A. troll farm or yacht video that purport to have authentic narrators with access to exquisite information are the most prevalent threat.

In 2016, Russian-controlled propagandists could push out fake news articles or social media posts and, in some cases, have an impact. But now, those old techniques do not work.

“No one will pay attention to that nowadays,” Mr. Watts said. “You have to have a video form to really grab an American audience today, which 10 years ago was just not even technically that possible.”

Our Coverage of the 2024 Election

Presidential Race

President Biden and Donald Trump have agreed to two debates  on June 27 on CNN and Sept. 10 on ABC News, raising the likelihood of the earliest general-election debate  in modern history. Here’s how each of them might try to win the debates .

Trump’s search for a running mate is still in its early stages, but he is said to be leaning toward more experienced options  who can help the ticket without seizing his precious spotlight.

Biden commemorated the 70th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, meeting with plaintiffs and their families at the White House as he tries to shore up support among Black Americans , who helped deliver him the White House in 2020.

As Trump’s criminal trial winds down, a center-left group is trying to goad him into testifying through an ad . Trump instead is visiting Minnesota, where his campaign says it can broaden the electoral battlefield with a play for the state  that always disappoints Republicans.

A Remarkable Pivot:  Larry Hogan, the former two-term Republican governor of Maryland who won his party’s nomination for the state’s open Senate seat, said that he supports legislation to codify abortion rights  in federal law.

Gavin Newsom Accuses Trump:  The California governor, speaking at the Vatican, used sharp language to describe the former president’s  appeal to fossil fuel executives for campaign donations, calling it “open corruption.”

How Rich Candidates Burned Cash:  It is a time-honored tradition in U.S. politics: wealthy people burning through their fortunes  to ultimately lose an election.

Montana’s Senate Race:  Republicans are trying to paint Senator Jon Tester as a Washington sellout, while their own candidate, Tim Sheehy, faces scrutiny over his credibility and how he sustained a gunshot wound. It all comes down to the question of trust.
