Liberty Yacht Club members were treated to an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the SailGP Tech Base — a truly unforgettable experience! Our guide, Operations Manager Jack, walked us through the site and offered fascinating insights into the logistical side of SailGP racing. From the intricate engineering of the bolts to the scale of the team operations, every detail brought the high-performance world of SailGP to life.

A highlight of the day was meeting Taylor Canfield, captain of the U.S. SailGP Team. Not only did we have the chance to chat with him, but we also snapped a group photo to mark the moment!

It was a truly special day — our sincere thanks to SailGP for the opportunity. And a big shout-out to our Vice Commodore, Nitzan Levy, for making this event happen . Bravo!

Newport to Bermuda race is starting tomorrow! Atlantic Highlands friends - Karen Harris is crewing on Assarain IV, and Lou Melilu (AKA - the Angel who saves our asses during the unpleasant delivery of Kate 3 years ago) is racing his boat Surface Tension along with Brian Gillen.
