One person is dead and four are still missing after a boat involved in a race around the Farallon Islands ran aground Saturday afternoon.
The Coast Guard said eight people on a 38-foot sailing vessel called the Low Speed Chase, were participating in the 2012 Full Crew Farallones Race that began at the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco.
The Low Speed Chase was skippered by James Bradford, according to a list of race participants on the association web site. Brown described the crew only as "young people."
The search continued Sunday for the four missing crewmembers.
The accident was reported around 3 p.m. Saturday, according to U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Levi Read.
