For the first time in history, Italy reached the America’s Cup Match with Il Moro di Venezia, representing the Compagnia della Vela di Venezia and helmed by Paul Cayard. This breakthrough placed Italy among the select nations to challenge for the Auld Mug—marking a defining moment in the country’s sailing legacy. The Louis Vuitton 38th America's Cup will be defended in Naples, Italy by five-time America's Cup winner, the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron represented by their team, Emirates Team New Zealand; and the British team led by Sir Ben Ainslie, Athena Racing, as the official Challenger of Record. #AmericasCup #AC38 #Naples2027 #LunaRossa #ItalianSailing #Italy #sailingcompetition

On May 21, 2023, I will turn 80. I plan to do a celebratory cruise in my sailboat “Carlita” around the whole of the Pamlico Sound. A distance of 500 nautical miles. It has been just over 10 years since I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. I never expected to make it to 80, let alone still have the desire or feel fit enough to attempt this cruise. I believe that Rock Steady Boxing has played a big part in that. I thought it would be good to try to give something back. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause which means so much to me and follow my progress at www.sailingforparkinsons.org to donate to this great cause please visit https://www.gofundme.com/f/sailing-for-parkinsons

Segelboot statt Wohnung. Wir leben seit 5 Jahren auf unserem Segelboot und wollen nie wieder weg vom Wasser. Gemeinsam sind wir auf dem Weg nach Hawaii, aber es gibt viele Umwege und wir wollen keinen davon verpassen... ⛵️
