From Humble Beginnings

Larry Ellison once told a story about his first sail aboard a Lido 14 that he naively took out the Gate. He reportedly said to himself, "If God lets me back in alive, I will never do this again." He told this story on the steps of San Francisco City Hall after winning the America’s Cup.

If you know Larry, please tell him that he has a chance to relive his humble beginnings and win more silver by entering the 60th Anniversary Lido 14 National Class Championship. The goal is to get 60 boats on the line at Balboa Yacht Club in Newport Beach, August 11-13, 2017. As it says in the Schock newsletter, "It’s exciting to see a boat, which was designed, built and named after Lido Island still out sailing. It can be said that the Lido 14 class kicked off the era of modern sailing." Indeed; just ask Larry.
