PostHeaderIcon Baja Ha-Ha Sailing Regatta Guide

  
The official Baja Ha-Ha sailing regatta website is here. You can find everything at the link to get prepared, find crew, register and to know the milestone dates. A few of the key links are below.
A somewhat dated article scanned from Latitude 38 called "Mexico Debriefing" gives some good tips on what cruisers have learned from the Baja Ha-Ha trip...old but still valid and good insights for newbies. Also, if you are coming down from San Francisco in September for the Baja Ha-Ha, the "San Francisco to San Diego" article from Yachtsman magazine depicts what might be experienced.
Blogs tell the story of brave sailing souls who undertook the Baja Ha-Ha epic adventure despite the ravages of never ending sunshine, hearty partying, constant following winds, and endless sunsets.

















"Gales, Whales and the Baja Ha-Ha" is a 53-minute sailing documentary video depicting the events surrounding the Baja Ha-Ha XVI (Oct. 25-Nov. 7, 2009). To view the film, click here.
 



 









































The Baja Ha-Ha sailing regatta includes two stops.  The first stop, Turtle Bay, is almost halfway down the West Coast of Mexico.  The village by the bay has basic supplies and a fuel concession delivers diesel by panga.  The second stop at Bahia Santa Maria is very remote with no facilities.
