SI #843 - Will it be MAGIC? Our proposal for a new AC-style event

SAILING ILLUSTRATED #843 (Tue 17 Jun 2025) - Back to the Future! 70 teams at last week's Star Europeans. Fully 300 entries at this week's Finn Masters World Championship. And the 50-year old Laser is by far the most popular Olympic Class. So it's time for a new, but traditional, AC-style match racing event in 12-Metre yachts - always in Newport, RI, like Wimbledon, or Augusta or Congressional Cup for that matter. We'll explain our proposal in detail. Join host Tom Ehman (USA), co-host Julia Wedekind (USA) and the FOSI* for our popular live video podcast that airs on Facebook (fb.com/sailingillustratedblog) and the Sailing Illustrated TV YouTube channel every Tuesday and Friday at 1300 Pacific / 2000 UTC, or watch a replay on-demand later.
