Newport. Complete. 🧡
20 teams. 10 races. Five days of racing in a fleet of identical IC37s at the inaugural NYYC Women’s International Championship.
We arrived in Newport as a new combination, in a new boat, racing together for the first time.
And we kept building.
As Katie Spithill said, “Our biggest win as a team is we never made the same mistake twice.”
The result: 5th overall, and the highest-placed team from outside North America.
But this campaign was about more than the result.
For co-founder Stacey Jackson, it’s about what comes next: “We want to keep creating opportunities for female sailors to come together and compete at the highest level.”
None of it happens without the partners, supporters, friends and family who backed the team and the vision, and helped make Newport possible.
And this is another important step in the process of building our team and our mission.
The journey continues. 🧡
