In case you missed any of the triumph and tragedy of 2012, here's a recap of the year's top sailing stories and the issues in which they appeared. January: After four years, the Econea bottom paint study came to a close, and we're no nearer to being able to buy our favorite water-based test paint. We interviewed Mini sailor Emma Creighton. Small-boat cruisers shared their secret: Go small, go now. Readers sounded off on the forced rescue of legally blind sailor Dennis Howard. We met the final set of Season Champs. February: Loïck Peyron and crew won the Jules Verne Trophy aboard the 131-ft tri Banque Populaire. Dutch sailor Laura Dekker, at 16, became the youngest person to solo circumnavigate. After circumnavigating the Americas, Ocean Watch got a new home — San Francisco Bay — and a new name — Spirit of the Sea. Cruisers went to the rescue of four net-entangled whales in the Sea of Cortez. And we said goodbye to former longtime Latitude Racing Editor Rob Moore after a valiant battle with cancer. March: Alan Olson shared plans to build San Francisco Bay's official tallship in Sausalito while Heather Richard worked to create a community sailing center at Sausalito's defunct Cass' Marina. The SSS Three Bridge Fiasco lived up to its name. Young circumnavigator Kara Dober shared some insight into cruising with kids, while Glenys Henry shared her tips for cruising the world on a budget.

MICHAEL LAWLER MICHAEL 'Aegean' and her crew of four perished when she ran into North Coronado Island. her class at the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta. Debris from the Tohoku tsunami started coming ashore on the West Coast. The Big Daddy Regatta was, as usual, big fun. With 185 participants, the Havasu Pocket Cruisers Convention is one of the fastest- growing — and largest — sailing events in the country. We interviewed Mark Denebeim, who spends time in the Bay and Carib- bean. Kurt Roll made a surprising catch of a bale of pot off the California coast. May: Five lives were lost when Low Speed Chase was swept ashore during the Full Crew Farallones Race, prompting a temporary USCG cancellation of ocean racing. Aegean and her four crew were lost two weeks later when that boat plowed into North Coronado Island during the Newport-Ensenada Race.

We recommended ways to take a great Baycation. Cruisers in La Paz helped some stranded pygmy sperm whales on El Mogote. August: More tsunami debris, including a school bus, was spotted off the coast, just in time for the Hawaii races.

The Pac Cup fleet fought squalls the whole way across the Pacific. US Sailing determined the loss of Low Speed Chase was a "failure of seamanship." The Delta Doo Dah fleet got hot and bothered up-Delta. The Pacific Puddle Jump fleet recapped their journeys to the South Pacific.
