The Sailing Museum and National Sailing Hall of Fame Preview America’s Prospects in the Olympic Games and America’s Cup
The Sailing Museum and the National Sailing Hall of Fame will host a presentation by Hall of Fame sailor and Emmy Award-winning television commentator, Gary Jobson, previewing America’s prospects in two of the biggest sailing events of the year – the Olympic Games and America’s Cup. The event takes place at the museum in Newport, Rhode Island on July 18th at 6:30 p.m. During the presentation, Jobson will analyze the strength of the U.S. team against international rivals in both competitions.
The Olympic Games
Gary Jobson will begin the presentation with a preview of America’s prospects at the Olympic Games which are set to take place later this month in Marseilles, France. Thirteen sailors in nine classes will represent the United States in the competition, and they have been training for the past three years. American sailors are aiming to win a medal following the disappointment of only winning one medal in the last three Olympic Games. Four athletes from the American team – Lara Dallman-Weiss, Daniela Moroz, Stephanie Roble, and Hans Henken – have agreed to correspond with kids through postcards and videos, in a letter-writing campaign that is sponsored by the museum.
American Sailors in the Olympic Games
American sailors have been preparing for the Olympic Games for the past three years. Thirteen sailors will compete in nine categories, including Laser, Radial, 470 Men, 470 Women, Finn, 49er Men, 49erFX Women, Nacra 17 Mixed and RS:X Men. The sailors have been working hard to improve their skills and techniques in preparation for the Games. The United States is hoping to do well in the competition and increase their medal count from the last three games.
America’s Cup
The America’s Cup will take place in late August and is considered to be the oldest international competition still operating in any sport. Five challengers from France, Great Britain, Italy, Switzerland, and the United States will compete to take on the defender from New Zealand. The New York Yacht Club’s challenger, American Magic, has assembled an elite sailing and design team, with aims to return the Cup to the United States this year.
American Magic’s Challenge for the America’s Cup
American Magic is one of the five challengers competing to take on the defender from New Zealand in the America’s Cup. The team has assembled an elite sailing and design team with the aim of returning the Cup to the United States. The team has been working hard to design a new boat and perfect their sailing skills in preparation for the competition. The America’s Cup will be a tough challenge, but American Magic is determined to bring the Cup back to the United States.
