A sail boat carrying eight crew members ran aground during a race off San Francisco Saturday, killing one person and leaving four others missing, the U.S. Coast Guard said, according to AP. Coast Guard and National Guard helicopters and water craft rescued three of the crew members and recovered the body of the fourth, Coast Guard Petty Officer Levi Read said. A Coast Guard helicopter, a cutter and a smaller boat were searching the waters around the Farallon Islands, 30 miles west of San Francisco, early Sunday for the missing crew members. Fifty-two sail boats were registered for the race, running from a yacht club on San Francisco Bay to the islands and back, about 60 miles round trip, Read said.
