Making its only North American stopover in the spring of 2022.
My Newport YC Frostbite A-Fleet debut is ignominious, but there are two simple lessons to be learned.
Returning to my winter sailing roots is an easy reminder that it’s not the boat you sail that matters, but rather the experience.
From onboard the 12 Metre Courageous it was easy to see how much these relics of the America’s Cup continue to draw wonder.
With the first edition of the Candy Store Cup in the books, the superyacht spectacle was a huge success.
The battle between Newport and Baltimore for host-port supremacy, goes to Rhode Island’s City by the Sea, where the stronger fan base should emerge.
Veteran AC photographer, historian, and journalist Steven Tsuchiya gives a glimpse of the AC World Series stop in Newport, RI, by focusing on the people involved.

Yesterday was the Offical Training Day 1 for the America’s Cup World Series in Newport. After an opening press conference, the sailors headed out for some windy practice races. The tension was tangible between ORACLE Team Spithill and Emirates Team New Zealand, for they will be vying for the overall title–Team Spithill currently has a narrow 4 point lead, but that could quickly disappear. Big breeze led to exciting racing, and even a collision with one of the mark boats! Photo Credit: Guilain
A crowd of hundreds, including youth sailors from many local sailing programs, gathered on Tuesday for the opening press conference of the 2012 America’s Cup World Series in Newport, RI. After the ceremony, youth sailors were given a chance to take photos with the cup and meet and greet their heroes. Photos: Stuart Streuli
The wing trimmer for Jimmy Spithill’s Oracle Team USA AC45 team talks about his shoreside responsibilities, whether the team is now comfortable with the AC45 wing, whether Russell Coutts has softened after his experience as a crew in Venice, and how much it will mean to him to win the overall title for the inaugural season of the America’s Cup World Series.
