UK Sailmakers recently shared a great write-up from the crew of Wizard on their win in the Ida Lewis distance race. The USMMA Sailing Foundation owned vessel had a rough go at it in this year's Newport to Bermuda race, but this win clearly shows she's got what it takes!

“I learned that world championships are not won by peaking in performance preparing for the event, but by incrementally improving every single day. The team was able to maintain this model and continually improve each day and were ultimately successful in achieving the goal of winning the World Championship. The feeling of walking on stage and hoisting the trophy with the team is one that I will never forget.” - Anthony Root, Trainee, Scoundrel USA 126. Part of the USMMA Sailing Foundation's mission is to support the education and training of the next generation of American yachtsmen. The lessons learned from experiences like Anthony's will last a life time; we're thankful to be able to support our sport's progression.
