Sailcloth and spinnakers dot Seal Beach roof top workshop
In Seal Beach near Pacific Coast Highway a two story roof hosts a sailmaker’s display of spinnakers in red white and blue as modern Dacron sailcloth replaces cotton. Nylon sails last years with sun rot, and old ripped spinnakers become bloopers used alongside the main sail on the bow of boats.

Redevelopment suit targets Riverfront Project financing
The Oakwood and Bridgeport developments spurred tax revenue growth but a filed suit argues indebtedness from September 1975 bonds was not within the Redevelopment Plan. It claims proceeds financed a police station, yard, and a library outside the project, and challenges amendments as invalid. The lawsuit alleges the financing plan lacks cost and revenue estimates and fails to designate public use lands, plus asserts a 45-year option to buy border land violates due process.
