A partnership between the City of Pensacola and American Magic includes the regattas. American Magic signed lease in 2024 to establish a high-performance sailing center at the Port of Pensacola.
Legendary sailor Linda Lindquist took part in Wednesday’s day on the water. She is first and only all-women’s team to complete for America’s Cup, and she is also the fleet manager.
“The talent on these boats and their discipline from Olympics, inshore offshore to literally hundreds of different programs at this point that they’ve raced on in their lives,” Lundquist said.
