A guano-capped pinnacle about two miles off Isthmus Cove at Catalina that resembles a ship under sail, rising from deep water to break the surface. Boulder slopes and kelp-covered reef descend from 15 ft to sand at 120+ ft at the base, with structure continuing far deeper for technical divers. It is one of Catalina's signature boat dives, with abundant lobster, schooling blacksmith and frequent sea lion fly-bys.
