Volvo Ocean Race Newport Start

Scenes from Newport

Starting a sailing-related company means you get to go to some pretty cool places. I was fortunate last year to spend a fair amount of time in one of my favorite places – Newport, RI. Sometimes known as “the yachting capital of America” (or the Northeast US, at least), it’s arguably the quintessential sailing town. Yesterday’s blizzard gave me time to pull together some memories from last year. From the Volvo Ocean Race stopover in May, here are some scenes from Newport.
