Louis Vuitton Cup Semi Finals

Another hurdle and another step up for AmericaOne. We raised our game once again and won the semi finals of the Louis Vuitton Cup with 8 wins from 10 starts. I am very proud of what we have achieved so far and happy to have the semi finals behind us. I always saw that series as a risky format for strong teams. Now we focus on one competitor for a best 5 of 9. The better team will win that one.

The key to our success in this round was getting the side we wanted at the start and hitting the first shift. This put us in control of the races at the first cross and from there John Kostecki and Morgan Larson did an excellent job of keeping us in phase. USA-61 also showed her pedigree

Sydney Hobart Disaster

I am sure a lot will be written in all sailing periodicals this month about the last Sydney to Hobart Race. It was very sad to hear of people losing their lives. It seems so senseless for a sport. The recounting of the conditions that I have heard from crew on Sayonara is incredible. For someone who just went around the world on a sailboat, obviously very exposed at times, I can tell you that it is very humbling to observe what happened in Australia. My heart goes out to the families of the sailors who were lost. I knew Glen Charles from Star sailing and so I am particularly sad about his loss.

However, I can

We still have three more Official Sponsorships to sell but these recent successes plus the fact that the America
