AMERICA ONE RACING PARTNERS WITH G&B ROPES

America One Racing is thrilled to announce a partnership with G&B Ropes, an innovator in high-performance rope manufacturing. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for both organizations, as they leverage their expertise to develop America’s top sailors to succeed on a global level.

America One Racing (A1R), focusing on developing American sailors who show the potential to win at the highest levels, will have their sailors benefit from G&B Ropes’ advanced rope technology. This strategic alliance aims to enhance the durability, efficiency, and performance of A1R sailors’ rigging, yielding a competitive edge on the water.

G&B Ropes is an American based company manufacturing in Gulfport, Mississippi, that has over 20 years of experience and is committed to excellence in the field of rope engineering. G&B Ropes filament coated technology has created state-of-the-art ropes, designed for maximum strength, minimal weight, and longevity.  Their lines will be integrated into the Olympic class boats and foiling classes that will be used by the A1R sailors. 

Paul Cayard – Director – America One Racing

“We are incredibly excited to partner with G&B Ropes.  Their innovative rope technology aligns perfectly with our pursuit of excellence and performance on the water. This partnership will undoubtedly help drive us forward and enable A1R to develop America’s top sailors to be the world’s best.”

Leandro Spina – High Performance Director – America One Racing

“Utilizing top-quality lines from G&B Ropes is not just about performance, it’s about pushing the boundaries of our sailors. To succeed in racing, precision is key, tailored lines for our use from G&B Ropes ensures every setting is executed flawlessly, giving the edge needed to stay ahead.”

Tim Ray, Co-Owner G&B Ropes

“G&B Ropes is a U.S. based and owned company.  To be part of helping American athletes rise on a global platform is an honor.  Our lines are engineered to perform under the most demanding conditions, and we are confident that this partnership will showcase the remarkable potential of our products in a competitive world-class environment.  America One Racing represents the pinnacle of racing excellence, and we look forward to working with the A1R coaches and sailors to develop the lines that will enable them to meet their quest for Olympic medals and World Championships.”

The partnership will officially commence with the upcoming Foiling Camp being held October 6th through the 12th in Pensacola, FL.  A1R will have a necessary supply of running rigging on hand at training sites and for future regattas.  This will help the sailors keep time on land at a minimum and maximize time spent on the water. 

Athletes and team supporters can look forward to seeing the tangible benefits of this collaboration on the water.
