Sailing aboard Heritage with the Girl Scouts!

Yesterday Team Heritage welcomed aboard a Girl Scout troop from New York.  The girls loved participating and learning about sailing aboard our America's Cup 12 Meter.  The helped hoist the sails, grind the winches, and even took the helm.  They are already asking their troop leader about sailing lessons back home in New York.  Thanks for sailing with us in Newport, we think you have earned your Girl Scout sailing badge!

Tom Cruise becomes an America's Cup Sailor!

Yesterday after racing against Luna Rossa in the Louis Vuitton Cup Emirates, Team New Zealand had their biggest thrill of the day. Tom Cruise and his son Connor jumped onboard ETNZ's AC72 and took the helm on a thrill ride around San Francisco Bay.  "Go, go, go!"  Tom recalls the crew yelling as he was put to the test on the grinders.  Will this be his next action role?

12 Meter Yachts Doing What They Do Best...Racing!

Yesterday was a beautiful Sunday afternoon for 12 Meter Racing!  With little to no wind all morning the breeze came up just enough for our 3:00pm departure.  It was an America's Cup 12 Meter match race with 1958's Columbia pitted against 1970's Heritage.  With 12-15 sailing enthusiasts aboard the racing began!  After the two leg race Columbia came out on top winning the day's regatta.  Don't worry Team Heritage - there will be a rematch!

Check out these great shots by Suzanne Manchester.  Join us for our another 12 Meter Racing Experience, open to the public, on September 15 or September 22 from 3:00pm to 5:30pm.  Have a private party or corporate group?  We offer racing charters for groups.  12 Meter Racing is a Newport experience not to be missed!
